look'n good!

 

Very nice! Have you considered painting the headlight bezels to match the white?

 

thanks 93nighthawk

yes, but then I would have to paint the chrome grille edges too, and I've seen other vans like that, it looks like too much paint.

 

It overall looks good, but I don't like the white grill.

 

it looks terrible with the factory gunmetal grey grille.

 

Nice van Jose.

My front grill and bezels are painted the same as the body color. The colored
grill and bezels look way cooler than the gun metal on my cargo van.

I don't know if you know about this, but there was an option on the Aerostar (but not sure what year), but a very rare selected option, where fog lights were incorporated into the bumper just below the headlights.

 

CourierYVR:
I have never seen the bumper fog lights option in any Aerostar, and I have been involved with Aerostars since 1986 when I purchased my first one. Back then there was a fog-light kit offered in the accessories catalog which I purchased and installed, (I still have the lamp's plastic covers with a Ford sticker). but they were a generic kit used in any Ford truck.

also I still have the hubcaps from my 1986, in stainless steel !!

 

Jose, those look like wheel covers to me.

I installed some cheap fog lights under the bumper using those big flat head Tor-X bolts that hold the cover on. They are really convenient, but there is limited depth due to the air dam. You need to find really shallow lights, and you need to drill a 1/2" hole into their installation brackets for the bolts. I'm wondering where the factory kit puts the light switch.

 

I like the white grill and have been pondering the same thing for mine to help off set it. The Chrome also gives it some character and class, I would keep it.

As for the Fog Lights, all I have seen is the "universal" fog lamps that bolt to the bumper that you saw in the era for everything. There could have been an OE Candian version. Also, in the late 80s/early 90s companies like JC Whitney offered body kits with fog light holes for like the Ranger, T-Bird, ect, so they might have offered one for the Aerostar.

 

Looks really nice. Good job!

 

Looks nice Jose A.!

 

xlt4wd90: yes, those are wheel covers/hubcaps, the original hubcaps from my 1986 Aerostar, I saved them when I sold the van. I mounted individual switches for Fog and Drivinf lights at the removable Vent Panel below the Headlights switch. (see picture).

93nighthawk: I agree.

99f350sd and DFord: thanks! I really have done little to this van, it's just like I bought it, original everything other than details like painting the grille, adding fog and driving lights, and fixing bugs. Originally sold in Florida, it even came with all the Sales/Dealer papers!

 

Looks good. I like the Aerostar in white. The first one I looked at was white and I really liked it, but the folks at the dealership were incredibly rude (I'm being nice) so I didn't buy it from them.

 

Its the same van as my work van..I just did the rockers..Same lower color also..
I still need to put a complete exhaust on it..converter inc.
