Question Stearing wheel leather cracking

My brother just bought an pearly 92 svx lsl. It's in ruff shape. We bought it at an auction. It all started when we were at a bagel shop and my brother looked through the paper for an auction. He looked through the list and saw a 92 Subaru and the vin number. He showed me and I looked at the vin and it looked like an svx vin number. We brought it up on car fax and it was an SVX. I told em your buying it. My brother really wanted "a white one with a black top". I waited all week for the auction. Finally we went down to the bronx and we were waited for the gates to open in the rain. As soon as I was able to get through the doors. It was a pearly, all dirty with mud and some. I didn't look at any other car only that SVX. The dumb ass painted the whole engine, alternator power stearing pump, that other pulley and the cracked belt cover with cheap walmart silver paint. The the hood struts where gone (as in bad). And the auction locks the doors so that you can't go in it or start it. At this auction its like buying a cat in the bag. But throught the window we saw 167,000 miles. I checked the oil and it was dirty and the antifreeze was clean. Smaller hit on the rear quarter pannel, some cracking paint on the front bumper. Ohh and the most stupid thing was that the @$$hole sanded down the top spoiler with 100 grit sand paper down to the fiberglass as if he was going to paint it but left the hipping paint on the bottom. I got a little scared when these 3 mexicans came over and wouldn't leave until the bidding started. My uncle said that they don't spend money anyway. feeewwwfff. It was closer to the end of the auction. ................... there was one guy who was biding with against us untill we got to $350 bid and the auctioner said 375? 1......2........3............. Sold. . We were so happy when we won it.
I'm gonna shorten up the story: paid for it, got the key made, paid all the fees, and got it shipped(which was a complete horror show). (A grand total of $846 )First off the we told the guy that we needed a tow truck. He said he had the one that is towed by the fron wheels. I blurted out NNNNOOOOOO WAY, Its awd you can not do that, you mess up the whole car. The dumbass told me OHH ITS OK I DO THAT ALL THE TIME AND NOTHING HAPPPENS. I told him tow truck or nothing.
Well... we drove home listening to my dad bad mouthing it sayin it won't start.......in front of the the svx on the tow truck. And get this, on the way home there was a black svx following ours on the truck. I see her around alot but what a quidence. When we got it home the guy was lowering it off the lift and ................IT STARTED. My dad ate his words.

Under closer inspection the car was a mess, missing interior parts, and tattered but still VERY WORTH IT. It ends up that the spoiler was held down with one nut. The interior smells like dog and dog piss and smoke! But there was two air fresheners. That did absolutely nothing.

Well heres the question. The stearing wheel is completely shot. Bad sun damage and all cracked up. Its discusting. He had a stearing wheel cover on it. I don't like stearing wheel covers. So heres idea. I know the LS-L has the leather wrapped wheel. Can I just cut at the stiching and take it completely off? exposing the stearing wheel like the LS.
