2 examples.
1. Restore = If someone buys an antique car that is in rough shape, possibly rust holes, missing parts, not running, etc.
That car will be restored to it's original condition. Just like it was when it left the factory.
2. Rebuild = If someone's house is destroyed, whether it be by fire, flood, or tornado, and the only thing left is the foundation, perhaps on a concrete slab, they may want to rebuild the house, on the original foundation.
There is no expectation that the house will be rebuilt to look exactly like it did when it was originally built. The floor plan may not be the same, kitchen cabinets different, different flooring, even the bath and bedrooms may be laid out differently, and the wall coverings will almost certainly, be totally different.
Restore vs rebuild. There is a difference.
