How do i tackle this?

I purhcased an aged domain with good backlinks and 0 drops, started putting fresh content

And after sometime i decided to restore the old content to get those authoritative backlinks juice, so if i use any service lets say waybackmachinedownloader or archivarix, so will those services restore old content on this new website where i have used a different theme and font and etc. in the same format or will it switch to the same fonts and images size etc.

I mean how do i bridge this gap? coz now old content has its own specifications than new?

Restore the old content manually from Archive. Archivarix is way more automated and it could be a pretty big mess if you want to do this kind of merge.

It will be more tedious and annoying to work with Archive, but that's something you should have thought of before you started uploading new content.

Make sure you retain the old URL structure. Specifications of the content are pretty much irrelevant. As long as URL is the same and content is 95%+ the same.

so are you suggesting not to use Archivarix? like that old domain has some 1300 posts. ofc not all of them have juicy backlinks.
 
It's enough to restore the URLs with backlinks.

If you don't want to do that, then restore your site completely with Archivarix (I believe it can convert the site into Wordpress) and upload your fresh content there.

I also do not know the full functionality of Archivarix, so there's a chance that it can do the merge without any issues.

Backup your site, try to spin up Archivarix and see where that takes you.

Next time, have a plan before you start a sikte or even bid on a domain.
 
It doesn't matter if the content has a different structure (images, headings, fonts, etc).
The only thing that matters (in the theory of benefiting is from an expired domain) is the URL structure--that means that you have the same URLs for those old posts that have some good domains linking to the them... Even the content can be different, at the end of the day the old domain can also update the content.

So do not worry too much about the format of posts etc. Just focus on restoring the same URLs, and you'll be fine.

If I was in your place, I would create a fresh website with a new but similar design and look, copy the content from the archive and publish it on my site, then set proper redirections in case I decide to change the permalink structure and let it index.

Downloading HTML pages directly from Wayback Machine is really easy, but not recommended.
 
There are a few ways to tackle old aged domain content migration:

1. Use a tool like Screaming Frog to help you crawl and analyze your old website. This will help you to identify which pages are the most popular and which ones need to be migrated over to the new domain.

2. Use a tool like Xenu's Link Sleuth to check for broken links on your old website. This will help you to identify which pages need to be redirected to the new domain.

3. Use Google Analytics to see how your users are interacting with your old website. This will help you to identify which pages are the most popular and which ones need to be migrated over to the new domain.
 
Just restore the articles were the backlinks were pointing and improve the content.
