Authenticity vs practicality.

What's the general feeling. Is it better to restore a bike to how it originally was, or chop and change to make an interesting ride.
I'm hoping to get my hands on a mid 70s Raleigh 3-speed upright, but I'm tempted to swap out the cheaper parts for better, newer variants.

Anyone know if this would be a criminal act?
