hardwood floors in my tr3?

I'm not going after the original look.  I'm doing a frameoff restoration on my
TR3A and the PO had bought the necessary panels from TRF.  I would like to
possibly add toungue and groove oak or maple flooring on top of the new
floorpan-- what's the reason or reasons that I should not do this?  The wood
has been offered free to me.
Thanks,
Paul
