1987 Mitsubishi Starion Leather Steering Wheel Rewrap

Lets talk about the very unique 1987 Mitsubishi Starion Leather Steering Wheel. This was just produced by us here at Craft Customs. This one-of-a-kind leather steering wheel was fun to recover with new leather stitching. Once we got the steering wheel from this Mitsubishi Starion from the customer, we were able to strip off all of the old worn-out leather, and replace it with smooth black Ferrari leather.

At Craft Customs, we’re passionate about preserving the essence of classic vehicles while enhancing their aesthetics and functionality. One of our recent projects involved a particularly special item: the leather steering wheel from a 1987 Mitsubishi Starion. This vintage steering wheel, known for its distinctive design and craftsmanship, came to us in need of a thorough restoration. Our goal was to transform it back to its factory-new condition, blending the charm of classic design with the luxurious touch of modern materials.

The 1987 Mitsubishi Starion is a vehicle that has left an indelible mark on automotive enthusiasts, and its steering wheel is a testament to its unique character. Over time, however, the original leather on these steering wheels can become worn and faded, detracting from the car’s overall appeal and driving experience. When we received the Starion’s steering wheel from our customer, it was clear that it had seen better days. The leather was cracked, peeling, and lost much of its original luster. This presented both a challenge and an exciting opportunity for our team at Craft Customs.

Our first step in the restoration process was to carefully remove the old, damaged leather. This is a crucial stage, as it requires precision to avoid damaging the underlying structure of the steering wheel. We used specialized tools to strip away the worn-out leather, revealing the core material beneath. Once the old leather was completely removed, we began preparing the steering wheel for its new cover.

We chose to replace the old leather with smooth black Ferrari leather, a decision that was driven by both aesthetic and practical considerations. Ferrari leather is renowned for its exceptional quality, durability, and luxurious feel. It provided the perfect balance of elegance and functionality for the Starion’s steering wheel. This high-quality material not only enhances the visual appeal of the wheel but also offers superior grip and comfort for the driver.

With the new leather selected, the next phase involved meticulously covering the steering wheel. This step required precise measurements and careful application to ensure a perfect fit. Our team at Craft Customs took great care to ensure that every inch of the steering wheel was covered seamlessly, with no wrinkles or imperfections. The smooth black Ferrari leather was carefully stretched and adhered to the wheel, creating a flawless surface that would soon be the foundation for our hand-stitching process.

Once the leather was in place, the steering wheel was moved to our leather stitching department. This stage is where our craftsmanship truly shines. Hand-stitching a steering wheel is an intricate process that demands both skill and patience. Our artisans employed a baseball stitch in black thread, which was chosen to complement the new leather and match the customer’s specifications. The baseball stitch is not only visually appealing but also reinforces the leather, ensuring long-lasting durability and strength.

Our team meticulously hand-stitched every section of the steering wheel, paying close attention to detail. Each stitch was carefully aligned to ensure a uniform and professional finish. This process took several hours, as we aimed to achieve perfection in every aspect of the restoration. The result was a steering wheel that not only looked brand new but also felt incredibly smooth and comfortable to the touch.

The transformation of the Mitsubishi Starion steering wheel was truly remarkable. To appreciate the extent of the work done, be sure to check out the before and after pictures provided above. The difference is striking, showcasing the exceptional quality and craftsmanship that Craft Customs brings to every project.
