Found a little rust at the seam inside the passenger door so will need to take care of that before I do anything else.
Shot of the back.
I got a 2nd hand steering wheel I plan to install into the Chaser to replace the old 4 spoke one the car came with, it was very worn but I decided it was a job I would do myself(like so many things these days). Here is a quick guide.
I purchased a Leather/vinyl restoration kit off an ebay shop http://www.ebay.ie/itm/171202634883?...84.m1497.l2649, they didnt have an option for posting to the republic so I just used Parcel motel to send it to the north. You get a bottle of cleaner, a bottle of dye and 2 different sponges.
I wrapped the parts of the wheel I didnt want to get dye on with newspaper.
Then I diluted the bottle of cleaner that came with the kit into some warm water and used the large sponge, This stuff was strong enough to affect the existing dye so I wore gloves. The wheel needed to be rinsed with water afterwards.
Then I used the 2nd sponge and the dye, I lightly pressed on the sponge working on one area at a time, when the area was covered I used a hairdryer I borrowed from an MX5 driver and dried thst area.
The results after two coats was impressive.
I finished it off with 3 coats and also decided to do my shifter as it was looking a bit worn. If your wheel is really worn you may need to lightly sand it with 2000 grit.
Installed it on to the car. Needed to use the Toyota airbag convertor which I got from Toyota Ireland for €20.

That's a vast improvement on the standard wheel.
