I have owned an 1967 M20F now for 10 years. I have redone the avionics, new paint, tanks stripped / resealed, and even an engine rebuild back in 2015. Back in 2010, i did a rough cleanup of the interior and had lived with it up to this point. I had been looking for a good shop to do an interior job for me. In my search, i came across Jaeger Aviation in Willmar, MN. (KBDH). This was the same airport i had my tanks stripped / resealed ( WeepNoMore, http://www.weepnomorellc.com). I made a visit to Willmar and Bruce Jaeger showed me his Spatial panel system he designed for old Mooney's. The Spatial system enables easy removal / replacement of the panels without using a ton of screws, which was one of my biggest gripes when i reworked the interior. My visit was back in 2016. This year, i decided to really redo my interior. I had SCS Interiors (https://www.scs-interiors.com) recover the seats in leather and also bought their carpet kit pre-fitted for M20F. So, i made the trip Aug 1, 2017 and i worked alongside Bruce Jaeger, which, saved me several labor hours. He taught me how to repair, patch, and refinish the old panels that we would be re-using. What a nice outcome! Along with the new Spatial panels, the old window frames, baggage area plastic, nose gear housing, and headliner look practically new! We removed about 350 screws from the old interior and only re-installed about 40. The side panels and spar panel are easily removed for maintenance & inspection. i have attached some photos of the a job well done. Feel free to ask me any questions.
