In my opinion the word Rebuild is exactly what Steve refers to as an IRAN.
In my industry major pieces of components are rebuilt and can be done so in the field.
Restoration and or Re manufacture- this term reserved for a COMPLETE tear down and a return to at least meet or exceed the manufacturers specifications by replacement of major components.
Modifications and or Updates are to add components to enhance or improve upon the original manufacturers intent. Normally the technology was not available during the original manufacture.
Ron is performing a Restoration and modification to his L-21
VERSUS
Christina is performing a Rebuild and modification to her L-21
To the potential buyer and to the life of the aircraft these are two totally seperate methods. Apples and Oranges. Taking two extremely different time frames.
I have been fortunate enough to see John's, Steve's and Bob's workmanship all are exceptional.
My two cents
