Don't get too hung up on it not having its original chassis, it is only a 6cyl example and bugger all will be left original in the end. Just don't spend a fortune on it - save that exercise for a matching numbers L31 M21/M41 example. All I can say is do it to suit yourself, as long as you build it to appeal to at least 50% of any audience you won't have any issues. My motto in this area is never say you'll never sell it, sh!t happens! So for example don't paint it a polarising colour like candy apple pink with blue stripes and green trim or something silly like that!
