You need to state if your doing a complete restoration of the car and what you plan on doing with the car.
If you are restoring a car for driving purposes then changing some of the original items to make the car safer really won't hurt the value nor will doing some engine upgrading. Give a few more facts like body style, type of options, tranny type etc. and you get a few more responses.

In a similar light to the earlier response it also depends on the car.

A high demand or rarer car that will be restored to a councours level is effected alot more in reference to changes for orginial compared to a fairly standard 68 coupe with a small block and 2V.

If the car has a very nice original paint you may not choose to change much but instead just clean everything well and keep it as an unrestored car. This effort is sometimes more difficult than owning a restored car IMHO.

In general keep the changes to items that can be unbolted/replaced and keep the original parts you take off

Good luck with the choice and the car
