I pulled the bumper cover off to fix a bad washer pump, get the bumper painted, and make it easier to install the HID lenses and ballasts.

The washer pump was easy, the hose was just disconnected.:thumbsup:

The bumper came off no problems, except one Phillips head screw that needed to be converted to a slotted screw for removal.

Here's some photos.

The first one is a before shot, the bumper is the worse part of the car, the headlights are kind of ugly too.

Then a shot of the car disassembled, the bumper on the porch, then in my CE. The bumper cover fits nice in the CE, I just removed the passenger and back seats. :D

I need to drop it off for paint. :)

Ha! you're turning your car inside-out.. :)

It is worth noting that it is possible to put both bumper covers inside a 1986 Town Car as well, but I don't think I have a photo to prove it...

I put the HID headlight housings in this weekend. I almost forgot that you have to trim the header panel to fit the different high beam halogen mounts. It was easy enough with a Dremel cut off wheel though.

I mounted the ballasts behind the steel bumper where it angles back by the fender.

Then I soldered the 2 red wires together at the multi function switch to keep the HID's from hot striking and burning out, when I turn the high beams off.

The bumper is back from paint. The painter did an excellent job.:thumbsup:

Thanks again go to Jeremi, he recommended the painter and delivered the bumper.:cool-blue:

He also came up with the idea of unbolting the passenger seat and moving it forward and reclining it, so the bumper fit in the car without removing seats.:thumbsup:

Here are the photos from today:
