I don't know about you guys, but the leather on my 1995 SE steering wheel, shift boot, and parking brake boot are all starting to look like garbage...peeling, cracking... Does anyone know where one can replace these at a reasonable cost?

I have replaced the leather stuff in my car all except the steering wheel wrap. . . I just got it all from the dealer. .. You might want to ask Turbo95Max about the stuff he was having his "wrokers" (Jane97se) sew. . . Don't know if it ever happened. . . If you replace the wheel wrap though let me know where you got it, as I am looking for a way to do this.

I did this a while back myself. I took off my shift boot, measured it and traced it onto some vinyl/leather material that I got at a fabric store for $3/yard (I probably should have used real leather, but my stuff looks good anyway). I also custom made a ebrake boot since 3rds gens dont have those like 4th and 5th gens do
my mom gave me a basic 5 minute sewing demo and it was pretty easy when I did it

steering wheel would be a little more difficult to attach though

Go to PepBoys. They have leather steering wheel covers that are VERY nice. Very soft, good grip,and you sew them on with thick needle and thead. It doesn't look anything like those crappy ones you wrap around. $15. It does take some time. Usually around an hour to stich it on, but it's well worth it when done. I'm going to cut the stiching and restich mine with the leftover thread, cause I fubared the stitching around the spokes of the wheel.
