The Russian fleet is rapidly aging, for which car owners have to pay more and more attention not only to repairs, but also to restoration procedures: not everyone
There are few new cars, and only organizations can afford them by leasing. Today’s loan is more than yesterday’s loan, so an ordinary Russian driver today and tomorrow, and most likely the day after tomorrow, will not think about collecting borrowed money.
He will drive whatever car he has, or he will go to the market for damage and need a “barbecue” that needs to be repaired. Like our Mitsubishi Lancer, which we bought to answer a simple question: how much does a used car bought on an advertisement cost and what is dangerous.
There are many questions about technology, but even more so – in appearance. Coincidentally, the thought of an impending farewell prompted the Russian car owner – not all, but the vast majority – to stop service and maintenance in order to save money. Like, deal with the next owner. Moderate dry cleaning and washing is the maximum a car gets before it is sold. Is the wheel worn out? Braid from the market and go!
Understandably, for 150,000 – 200,000 km, even a high-quality leather steering wheel begins to turn into a rag. Scratches and cracks, the sun and just time make the steering wheel ugly and unpleasant to touch. But conversions are expensive: they require work from 5,000 to 15,000, and often the steering wheel has to be taken off and taken to the workshop, which in itself is not easy. Is there an easier and cheaper option? Portal “AutoVzglyad” found this.
Our Mitsubishi Lancer came from the factory with a stylish and fashionable MOMO sports steering wheel, which was fitted to all two-litre modifications, along with a red strip on the pillars under the hood. Like sports equipment.
Over the years, the “steering wheel” has become much worn, worn and even began to crumble, so the seller politely hid this flaw with a terrible leather braid, which is still sold in the markets. After removing this “tuning”, we realized the reason for its appearance: the steering wheel turned into a dirty and terrible parody of itself, which even a global cleaning did not help. It is necessary to overtighten, otherwise it will be just unpleasant to drive.
The job of an editorial project with Lancer is to look for simple and inexpensive solutions. In the case of the steering wheel, we found this: for 800 rubles at a well-known Chinese flea market, we ordered a “repair kit” for the steering wheel, including “new skin”, threads, needles, a puller and a special fastening tape.
You need to look for both the model of the car and the steering wheel – the kit is not universal, but specialized. By the way, it has detailed instructions and even a link to a video. DIY at its best.
So the handlebars are already washed and prepared, the mounting clips are removed, you can start. We put the skin in the right position, stick the adhesive tape and begin to apply school sewing skills without cutting. There’s no point in repeating every stitch, but two important points are worth mentioning.
First, the instruction is there to read and then follow. And secondly, you need to pull the thread vigorously, without letting go. Magic is not required to the same degree as patience. It is necessary to carefully, accurately and strictly follow the instructions to go through the entire beam. The gods don’t burn pots, but three hours of painstaking work is guaranteed.
And yes, each next stitch is better and more beautiful than the last. Photos tell best about the result obtained: the monster has turned into a beauty, which you do not want to let go. Tactile sensations are at a similarly high level.
The cost of the work remained around 800 rubles: everything necessary for the repair, the Chinese put in a package. Was it worth it? Of course it was worth it!
