The most used control in the car is the steering wheel (we hope!). Why not upgrade this essential component and go with something more visually appealing.
Is this an easy job and what pitfalls are there in fitting an aftermarket steering wheel?

Never overlook the interior of the car. You will spend much time looking at the dashboard of the car and you certainly don’t have to stick with the standard plastic, and dials that come with the car. Often people concentrate on what others see outside the car but this often generates an anticlimax when looking inside the car. All the interior surfaces can be recovered. Leather is a popular option, but many new fabrics are available with soft finishes, even fur is available as well if you are brave!
(Please leave the faux fur alone as this look went out about 30 years ago!) Sit down and carefully plan your interior – take a look at show cars to get some ideas and see what is possible.
Treat your eyes to a nicely finished interior. You’ll spend much time looking at the car interior. Read the rest of this entry »

Antique car care is not something to be taken lightly. These fine classic automobiles require a substantial amount of special care in order to retain their worth and appearance. There are certain requirements involved with caring for a classic car, such as the necessity to clean it with specific materials. It is important to know how to properly clean your old car. The interior can be especially delicate, especially if it is original. Maintaining the inside of the car will take time and a meticulous approach. It does not necessarily need the touch of a professional in order to be done right but you need to know what you are doing.
Most classic cars are not driven on a regular basis. They tend to be stored somewhere safe until it is time to bring them out for an occasion. Plan to detail the interior of your car regularly. Every few months is usually a safe time frame. If you allow it to sit too long with dust build up and lack of fresh air circulating inside, it can quickly diminish the cleanliness of your car. Neglect will be the first thing to turn your classic beauty into old trash. Do not make the mistake of allowing that to happen. Maintaining one of these cars requires serious commitment.
