    i say always best to keep it original if your gonna do an original rebuild, if your gonna go heavy on the mod's i'd maybe consider a colour change, what colour is it and what would you want to change it too???

          I personally would change the factory colour for originality sake and value too, but that's just my opinion, each to their own!!

                Sebring red looks good especially if it's a mk1 rs2000 so i wouldn't bother personally .

                      Yes.
                      Why do we pay others to do a job we did ourselves?

                      Ever paid for conveyancing?

                        Its your car and you will be driving it so get the car spayed the colour you like. Ford sprayed their cars some very dodgy colours over the years, some very dodgy browns, greens and yellows; fashions change! Fashions like vinyl roofs and brown interiors! Proper RS cars do not have vinyl roofs or brown interiors in my opinion. If you want to be unhappy pander to everyone else or do as you want !

                              mines got vinyl roof, mint brown interior so is not a proper RS then Having just won won an rsoc gold cup they obviously think so. Maybe you want to look again at your post.
