It's a word for people who "think" they restored something, but did it only half ass or made things worse. Kind of like eyetzr's meaning of the word "rare", as in not well done. 
But you can thank Tram for coming up with that word (restroyed).

Look what's coming SOON
The design is based on a VW's Austrailian TYPE 3 script
Samba member jaransonT3 is making them out of 1/8 aluminum
one inch high letters and one and one half inch high number 6...

That should look good on your project. It'll probably even fool the non-VW types, or those that should know better.
Well, IF the other side was finished.
9 bucks a glass. Ouch. I knew New York was expensive, but WOW. Was the salad 20 bucks on it's own?

Yeah, I gotta say, I'm not digging the half-and-half look either. But, it's not my car.
GP, is it running yet?

We started it sept 6th . We found out the carbs needed to be rebuilt . Kits were ordered and I am currently waiting on the rebuild guy .
I am busier than planned ,the trip to New York , and Helping reorganize the decorating company warehouse . We normally don't have work in December but a months extra pay will really help the camper interior plan$$ .
AND remember the half and half IS temporary

What would happen if you had 11 people for turkey day dinner and the dining room held 6
" Move out to the garage "
This is what happens when you are a professional set decorator and you move " out to the garage "
THIS
BECOMES
Good time had by all ....Happy thanksgiving

Went to the mechanics to put the carborators in ;
GOOD news , they work ; timing is set ;
Bad news , oil cooler is leaking ;type3 fan is broken and has to come out AND the beam has to come off cuz I stripped the adjusters trying to lower them . 
I told the mechanic that I was going home to put a cover on the TYPE6 and I would be back in JUNE !
Guess I'll be re-enacting in January in a 93 ford van
Needed new photos for Hagarty
