Restoration is conservation, conservation is restoration.
Vinyl upholstery fabric, 2K paint, powder coating, flashing indicators, unified and metric fasteners, modern electrics, etc. are neither.
Dear Henry, I assume your posting was an effective attempt to throw the cat among the pidgeons.
Restoration and conservation are not interchangeable, although the one will always contain an element of the other.
But a serious point — flashing indicators are a must have for anyone driving regularly on todays roads and regular use is the best way to conserve your car as you will need to keep it roadworthy.
And use LEDs, hiding them as far as pos. in the original light fittings.
