So I got the call from Gus and popped down to Dartford after work yesterday to pick up B112 after having a few jobs done. Finished at 2pm, jumped on the underground to London Bridge, train to Dartford, 20min walk and was there by 4pm
New 3" CCI exhaust ( sportex), new Coolex Alloy Radiator in Black and of course while they were checking the torques on head bolts and checking tappets I got them to finally fit the custom rocker cover. All looks really good. Here's a, few pictures

What did you have done
Looks amazing mate , yes black rad is the way to go
There was a book out last year on the pinto , you can see why they call it the “ Best engine in the world “
Car(s): Capri 2.8 injection special. Weekends only! Sierra Sapphire- rolling restoration. Vauxhall Movano- the company vehicle. Vauxhall Mokka. The wife’s!
Looks really smart.
My OCD insists I ask why you have left the lifting eye on the front exhaust side when the one from the rear inlet side is gone?
I reckon it would look better without...................but that's just me.

Nice one Nick looks great, bet it sounds good too
Thanks Andy. I was in the Dartford Tunnel coming home looking on my rear view wondering where the boy Racer was maku g alll that noise then I realised it was me
Seriously tho Andy it's louder than the 2" but not REALLY loud so Danny will still have the Tunnel Run Crown without a doubt even with my 45s

Looks awesome!
Thinking about upgrading my exhaust system to the CCI one, but just debating on the 2" or 3"....
Thanks Chris. I had a 2" CCI system for a few years and it's been great. Lovely tone to it. I just fancied a change with all the other mods I been doing and as a stainless system will have to wait I promised myself I would try 3" and it looks great. Not to over the top at all and pokes out the back a treat without being chavvy

Looking well smart!
We'll have to call you 'Hot Rod Nick' Now!
Thanks Steve... I think But yep I know it's only a fairly tame modification compared to what the Pinto can offer if your pockets are even deeper than mine so no need for you to get worried..... Yet.!!!

Hi mate. You are spot on fella.!!!! Now I had all this stuff done I was looking at this lifting eye recently with the previous rocker cover thinking it needs to come off!!
How weird you said this yourself as i was, looking at it yesterday with the alloy cover on and thought yep it deffo needs to finally come off... so......
