Yes John. The bolts were so rusty that together, we feared too much damage.
Once it's back home I will evaluate whether I need to cut the bolts and
replace the bumpers ($700+) or polish them and live with a little
imperfection.

BTW, that color is GM Cobalt Red, available as touchup paint anywhere in
the States.

Update:

   Yes, I should have taken the bumpers off but the bolts are so rusted
that they would have either broken or would have had to be sawed off. I
chose the easier path since this a driver, not a 'correct' show car.
   The paint color is incorrect but again, a driver. The color is GM Cobalt
Red if applied as a two stage with extra clear. Subsequent dings and
problems can now be touched up with paint from any autoparts store in the
States.
   The shop painted the underside of the bonnet and deck lids as well as
inside the trunk. Door edges and jams are resprayed now too. They did not
paint the engine bay. I want to do that myself, preserving labels, etc.,
and now can easily do so.
   I have not yet decided whether to spray the Kamm back satin black, or to
leave it in red. I had them paint it red so I would have the choice. They
did not paint below the lower chrome trim strip. I will respray that black.
Same with the front spoiler. It will also get resprayed black. Rubber
bumper protrusions too. Same satin black.
   I will not replace the British Leyland badges to the sides. British
Leyland all but destroyed England's motorcar industry, like most things a
government touches. I don't plan to replace their badges-of-failure on my
car.
   This car also had the TRIUMPH letters and stripe down the lower sides,
just above the trim strip. It will not be replaced. I haven't decided
whether to apply the flag and 'TR6' letters on the sides ahead of the tail
lights. I can add those at any time, if desired.
   The car comes home tomorrow and reassembly will begin.

Just my .02, but the back tail and the flags on the rear quarters are two o=

So, what color is the lower front and rear valences?
If you put a torch on the rusty nuts, that should loosen them up.
