231LV Posted November 28, 2019 Report Posted November 28, 2019 A brand new interior from Hector at Aero Comfort. He does beautiful work...a couple of pics... work was done at Kerrville, TX. The factory sits basically empty...a sad testimony to the faded golden age of Mooney. next year is a new paint job.... 8 Quote
MarkD34M Posted November 28, 2019 Report Posted November 28, 2019 Very sharp. Nice work. Sad sight behind your plane. Quote
PT20J Posted November 28, 2019 Report Posted November 28, 2019 Very nice. Did he remove and paint the plastic? -- it looks new. Quote

Not exactly......he stripped everything out of the plane, repaired, reinforced and covered the plastic with ultra leather. Replaced all the foam and put new leather on the seats and new carpeting plus a newly covered dash and yokes. Obtaining replacement plastic parts is getting pretty tough. During one of the Mooney bankruptcies, they threw all the molds out for the earlier models including J’s and K ‘s. Hector tried to get in and retrieve them from the dumpsters but couldn’t get permission. Mooney quoted $8000 for a new built seat frame. 1 1 Quote

carusoam Posted November 28, 2019 Report Posted November 28, 2019 Getting a good look at Hectors work... It really is nice. Especially under STP conditions and with gravity... Thanks for sharing the pics. Best regards, -a- Quote
Nick Pilotte Posted November 28, 2019 Report Posted November 28, 2019 I think you have a very nicely appointed aircraft too. Can you share how the side panels and/or the glare shield are stitched? I come from a long history of working with high end European cars and compare a lot of trim work to them so I’m curious how he lays them out then stitches them. Quote
rainman Posted November 29, 2019 Report Posted November 29, 2019 Hector did mine eight years ago, and it still looks like new. 1 Quote
