Is fitting suspension forks to a retro MTB a faux pas?

The parts are retro:

Steering wheel taken from my Dad's vauxhall viva estate

Seat taken from my Raleigh Commando...and that yellow light, lets just say I found it at the side of the road...ahem

Re: retro forx

I feel it's OK as long as the forks are retro too, but finding functionally good forks that are 10 years plus old is not easy: like these gems!

I've got a pair of these in gold for grabs... if you have a very short steerer indeed!!!!!

Came off a 15.5" Kona! Ridden about 3 times, if that!
