So very true!

When someone says restored, restored to what? Is it restored to what the outline of the car originally looked like. Restored using only parts available during ther year of manufacture? Restored using reproduction parts that have close form and function as originally built.

I feel there is no right or wrong answer to this question with the exception of original, I feel that there is only one definition of original, something with untouched parts except for parts designed to be replaced at intervals such as tires, oil, grease, air, brake pads, water in radiator etc. I think it would be hard to arque that with a straight face.
