Apparently there are many on this forum who own a Porsche mainly for its investment value. It might have been better for the car to depreciate like other cars, then they can modify it to their liking without worrying about satisfying the next owner or preserving the mystic.
How about fixing up your car in a manner that provides the most enjoyment for YOU, otherwise you end up compromising your ownership in it. If you're into originality, that's fine too, but let's not criticize others (too much) for wanting to improve THEIR driving enjoyment.
As to potential buyers, I understand the pitfalls of purchasing something with an abundance of DIY labor involved. How many of us have purchased or rented a house where the previous user/owner had performed a lot of DIY repairs themselves? Very often it's not pretty. If you worry more about the next buyer than getting maximum enjoyment from the car, keep it original or modify it so the return to originality is easily accomplished.
MHO,
