Starting with the liitle things - the steering wheel

01/04/2013
After looking over the car there was some things that could be done within the first few weeks of the restoration that would not be too time consuming and that would not be expensive to complete; as the parts that were required either we had them or people we knew had them.
Fixing the steering wheel was one of them little or simpler things that could begin the Impala's restoration.

Fixed steering wheel

The thread that the nut goes on to hold the steering wheel in place was damaged, but be using dye we were able to re-cut the existing thread and re-use the original nut.

The first of many jobs on the repairing and fixing list has been completed now and it feels fantastic to be making those first steps but I feel more research will have to be done as things will become more expensive and time consuming as restoration goes.
