Was the sealing surface for the oil cap bare metal originally or painted ?

The vehicle was completely stripped, media blasted to bare metal, all bodywork needed carried out, and then painted flawlessly.
It sits in the roped off corner in the showroom of his body shop (Imperial Collision) so clients that come in can see it be worked on and watch it from a safe distance.

Picked up a harness snippet from a 325e parts car over at my buddy Thad's house today, a few wire colors vary but the AFM and Barometric Pressure Sensor connectors are the same. Carefully spliced it into the M3 harness to repair the lopped off section and pulled it back onto itself for as close to a seamless repair as practical.

If you heat one section with a heat gun it becomes soft and supple so you can easily force the non heated section inside the hot section.
Once cooled its pretty well fixed in place.
I'm looking to replace the loom on mine for the oil pressure sensor wire running in front of the timing belt, it's old and cracked, I don't believe I can coax any more life out of it.
Aftermarket ones are corrugated stuff, or the weave, both are acceptable, but far from oem.I do things.

I'm most impressed by the combination of speed AND quality. I firmly believe that anyone (given enough effort) can do a project either quickly or with high-quality workmanship. To pull off both at the same time is impressive. It means you have built a great network of guys who share the same fastidious attention that you do, which is NOT easy.
Love the pictures.
