Is it a sin to modify a 50 AE

Hello! First post!
I'm relatively new to z31's but I've done my research and I know what I'm looking for. For the last few months I have been looking for '86 turbos with the digital dash but I have been seeing a good amount of the 50th AE's. I'm generally concerned with heritage and the preservation of special edition cars so my question is, would it be "morally reprehensible" to heavily modify a 50 AE that's in restorable or good condition? As I write this I realize how silly this is but it seems like a low production number special edition should be kept in stock form, I would be doing the 87-89 front end conversion, paint/wrap, engine swap, suspension, etc.
Thank you!

I would lean toward 'yes', but not a mortal sin. But what do I know? I like old cars to be stock anyway, and have done everything I can to make my '85 stock.
