Default Paul Champagne Early Steerig Wheel

Hello all, one of my Christmass presents to myself is to finally update the steering wheel, it's been on the wish list for awhile. At first I was going to replace with a Momo flight or the 930s. But I opted to stick with my stock wheel with the extended hub and get it recovered. Here are some before and after pics. I think Paul did a fantastic job.


It's hard to make out but the leather had shrunk and the top was blistered from all the years in the Florida sun.







Once the wheel arrives I will take some pictures of it installed... I can't wait.

Another great bit of work from PC and Linda! They have a black early wheel in the works for me too. Not sure what I want on the horn pad though... I don't want a colored crest...but I did like the crest he did on my '92... He also has a luggage cover w/ the cut out for the CD changer for my '94 in process too! Can't wait to get that in the car...it will be REALLY nice! Hell it is ALL really nice! If my money tree had not died in last years drought I would just drop each of my cars off in turn with him and let him take care of ALL the interiors in full!

The pics are coming James. The Holidays are over so I can get back to it. I still have to post pics of Gary K's GTS refresh, and the interior of my car as well as other pics. The interior is so awesome I am usually just opening the doors and staring at it! I am trying to decide how far I want to take the rest of it at this point, but I have to watch the ol' budget. These pieces are expensive, but worth every penny and then some.

Paul has done three pieces for me which I have been happy with. I'm all ready planning to have him do a few more things to the interior. We will just have to see how tax season goes...
