Tinkers with damaged cars, unfinished too (7)
I believe the answer is:
rascals
'tinkers' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'damaged cars unfinished too' is the wordplay.
'damaged' indicates an anagram.
'unfinished' means to remove the last letter.
'too' becomes 'also' (synonyms).
'also' with its final letter removed is 'als'.
'cars' is an anagram of 'rasc'.
'rasc'+'als'='RASCALS'
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rascals that I've seen before include "Scoundrels or naughty children" , "monkeys" , "Knaves" , "naughty boys?" , "'Scoundrels, rogues (7)'" .)
