Questions on restoring upholstery
Hi, just some questions. 
1. I have the all leather interior inside my car, but it's cracking and fading. What can I do to repair/restore this? How much would I be looking at to pursue this?
2. My steering wheel is all leather too, but a patch of leather is starting to seperate from the steering wheel, much like a tear or rip. Would simply sewing it back onto the steering wheel be the best solution? Or should I look into replacing the leather on the steering wheel? I'm not wanting to dive head first into replacing the leather on the steering wheel, since my car has the stereo controls built into the wheel.
Thanks!
Jason

Tell Alan Faircloth that Frank from The GTA Source Page sent you. They will be selling TTA/GTA replacement leather interior kits, and steering wheel re-wraps shortly. Right now they are in the process of getting the patterns made for the kits. I'd estimate availability in a few months.
ABS is giving a substantial discount to patrons of The GTA Source Page who buy kits from them. Contact them via e-mail for more info.
