Dunno and obvs depends more on the audience but to me, there's something really, really excessive about taking a very old (and by modern cars' standards, hopelessly dangerous in an accident, impractical and nondurable) and ripping its guts out and installing EV shiz. It's cool, mind. If I had the time / money I would do it.
On the assumption that most new EVs will be safe / practical / durable and provide lots of economic activity (i.e. workhorses). Obvs some of the more 'specialist' stuff will be playthings though and fail to some extent on those I agree.
