Are classic cars best left original — or can the right modifications make them even better?

In this episode of The Radiator Arms, James, Ant and Will debate where to draw the line between preservation and improvement.


★ This week we cover:

• Our time with the Nissan UK’s Datsun 240Z

• The end of Will’s Bora-fronted Golf, and whether quirky swaps can add value

• How subtle upgrades can transform classics without ruining their soul

• Period-correct mods, resto-mods, stance culture, and where things go too far


💬 What do you think?
