Made man un-expected stop at the local JY today.
Of course as soon as we get there, A FREAKING MONSOON HITS!
Had flashbacks to my bad day at the junkyard last year. :hick:

Went in search of a "New" (lol) set of wheels/tires for the Aerostar.

Found a set of really nice looking 16" rims and tires (Toyo Proxes) from a 1993? Eclipse.
Hoping they will work (Lug pattern should), Otherwise ill just put em on CL.
Not sure what the rims are, They have a mitsubishi stamp on the backside~Looks like they might be late model Diamante or Lancer.

If they indeed dont work, Dad also made me pick up the ugly set of Aerostar factory rims (w/ caps) and tires they had. :rollin:

Both sets for $120.00. :)

Fox wise it was depressing...
1 '85 T-Bird PICKED CLEAN, 1 84 Cougar All the good stuff gone!, 1 83? Mustang NOTHING BUT A FRAME AND BODY.
However there were 2 Lincolns, Both had quite a bit of stuff left, 1 had a very leaky sunroof.

Time for me to go out and change some wheels. :mullet:

BAH! My parents are no fun. :mad:

The "Mitsubishi?" Custom looking 16" rims with the Toyo Proxes Tires did indeed fit, Although they sat a bit inward.
*This Style:

But... dad liked the factory aerostar 14" rims/huge tires better.
He seems to prefer the uber fat truck type tires. :rollin:
And mom thinks they fit the van better.
*This Style:

Oh well, I tried. :rollin:

As far as those wheels go and which ones to install,who cares? It's an Aerostar.

True, Lol.
Just trying to make it look "better", Not a lot to work with though. ;)

Here is how it started:

(I actually think the whitewalls work, lol)

Mitsubishi Rims (Did not clean em' up yet):


Aerostar Rims (Bad pic, It was dark and havent cleaned em up yet~Also need better center caps, These are in poor shape):

Yep! Lol.
Now i need to figure out what i'm gonna do with these Mitsubishi Rims.
I could return em' for about 66.00 credit at the JY, But im wondering if i cant get more more for them if i try and sell 'em... But they are far from perfect.

Anyway,
They had a couple Crown Vic Police Cars in the yard, I was immediately drawn to the HUGE brake setups in the front... They look to have 12" Rotors w/ Dual Piston Calipers??
The rotors were shot, But i wonder if the calipers would fit over Cobra Rotors?

Foxes are scarce in my area too. There's TONS of mn-12s everywhere, but the << 88's are all but extinct, if not ravaged when found. I am going to get a rear swaybar from a 85? tbird sport, and I got a power steering pulley which was just *laying there* waiting for me to take (sweeeet). I saw an 84-85 cougar which was ablolutelty ravaged, windows beaten in, taillights broken, paint rotted, emblems corroded, interior Burned?/totally destroyed. The other nearby yard just crushed a beautiful 88 5.0 ls cougar that they only had for a couple months, (which had a part I had left in it just two weeks ago that I planned on coming back for!!!!!!!) but they still have an 86 tbird w/3.8 with a decent interior if anyone needs interior pieces. (inst. cluster, seats, armrest, etc, its gray btw), and I think the outside is still decent too, couple of emblems, and I seem to recall the lights being descent. Also, a couple of engine stuff left, and a great looking ac condenser. I'll put up a couple pics in a couple days (maybe today) of these couple cars and whatever good stuff's left.

Anyone let me know if looking for parts and I'll take a look.
