I'm slowly restoring my car and I find great pleasure in it.

Depending on what is required either I will do it or have my mechanic do it. For instance every time I take my car in for service I will have my mechanic replace any parts that look worn if they are related to what he is servicing. It doesn't matter if they are bad or not, they get replaced anyways.

The latest changes I've made are rubber gasketing, a new battery tray and clamps and eventually I'll replace the door sills and several other small items.

My belief is to buy the absolute best example (of the car you want) that you can afford and take very very good care of it. When you have some extra cash you replace worn items. The car will eventually be as good as new.
