I have a couple of little wiring issue yet to do. I installed a tire pressure monitor system, and should have taken apart the cigarette plug adapter. I wired the antenna into the ground. It shorted and I have a replacement to wire in permanently. I don't want to lose my cigarette lighter plug. Also, I want to wire my GPS in permanently.
In the mean time, I am focusing some time on the interior. This car is nearly done but I have been using it as a daily driver and do not want to put a lot of time into it right now as I have other project. Still, I want to keep moving forward with improvements, so I chose an easy job next. Installing a leather steering wheel cover.
I've install these in the past on my K5 Blazer. I liked it so much, that when my ring wore a hole in it, I replaced it with a new one. I no longer wear my college ring as it doesn't fit well. So installing leather cover was not a big deal. It takes about an hour and goes on in a straight forward manner. Aside from tedious stitching, the most difficult part was stretching it over the wheel. In any case, I like it so far. It is more slippery than I'd hoped or remembered on past steering wheel covers, but is does feel a bit nicer and the wheel is more comfortable to touch, grips a bit better, and I expect it will be both cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Here it is:
