Reassembled the bumper frame, replaced the left front headlight housing, and installed new bulbs, Silvana’s brightest lights for night driving . The crash had broken the low-beam filaments. The boys at Chevrolet of Everett will have the car until Thursday or Friday, so I’m not rushing them.
Before the body shop worked their magic.
Post-reassembly. I’ll need to double-check the bolts once I get the car back from the techs.
Next Saturday, November 10th, will be the big day
she gets her new dress.

Also, I just ordered new headlight, corner markers, and taillight housings. The taillights have chrome trim, since I’ll be replacing the trunk lid with one from a Crown Victoria LX and having it repainted.

Happy to see her getting fixed up. Sounds like your Chevy dealer has been pretty good all-around, no?

They are excellent general mechanics. If the work involves fluids, I often take the car to them as I don’t have a garage or the means of disposing of waste materials.
In the meantime, I’m trying to find a junkyard dealer in Saudi Arabia who can help me secure a 2008 Crown Victoria special edition grille — the SE cars were mostly sold overseas . If you know anyone, that’d be super-awesome.

Looks good. Also try to find a trunk insert from a 98 P71 (I had one but sold it with my last car); it’s the black insert but has chrome strips.
Hope they’re not robbing you blind.

My roommate works for them. Labor is a little on the high side (what service shop isn’t?) , but it’s guaranteed.
My roommate also checks the work the techs do on my car.

Whoa, that's pretty awesome. You got a whole photo of the front end with that on?

The rest is just a regular Crown Vic. The grille is the only difference.
