I have the following items available for free pickup from San Diego/El Cajon’s Gillespie Field.

First up are interior plastics, assorted pieces, including headliner, pilot side, passenger side/door, right rear passenger side. Not the baggage compartment or the left rear pilot side. These were removed for replacement and are offered as-is.

Second is a potentially unrepairable exhaust core, removed for replacement. Also as-is.

Finally, third are Mooney hangar signs I received from @MooneyMitch . I don’t believe he charged me anything for them so neither will I. Only condition is you must own a hangared Mooney.

Everything is first come, first served, and the interior plastics and exhaust will end up in the Dumpster if no one claims them.

I’m interested in how that exhaust came to be in its current condition. Did someone take a cutting wheel to it?

No idea how but my mechanic said it’s not airworthy at my annual a couple years ago, and I agreed, so we replaced it. I think it was just age, there were no impacts to it or any abnormal engine issues I was ever aware of. It passed my prebuy and I never had a single backfire afterward, so I’m stumped.

It’s not, but that tube is easily replaced at overhaul.

My mechanic told me, that the welding shop told him, it was not repairable, but YMMV. I didn’t speak to them directly so I don’t know anything more than the above. Offering it in case someone can use it for something and to keep it out of the trash, but it is 100% subject to a person’s own assessment in consultation with a qualified mechanic. :)

Fair enough, I’m glad you didn’t throw it away. Unless something has dramatically changed in what’s acceptable for exhaust overhaul, that’s a perfectly good core.

Adding another item for free pickup: M20J window shades for the front windscreen, pilot and door windows, and rear windows. Will probably work best on 1989-1998 SE/MSE/Allegro rounded rear windows but YMMV. Might work on an F or K also but no guarantees. These came with my plane when I bought it but I used jet shades instead and rarely if ever used these. They are quite used but you could tape them up, and you can’t beat free!

Would love to grab these from you.  How much for your time and effort to ship to Alabama 36352 zip code?

UPDATES:

No one claimed the interior plastic pieces, which have been thrown away.

Signs and shades are claimed, awaiting approval and payment of shipping quotes.

The exhaust core is still available but is next to be thrown away.  Last call!

Ordered new ones from Vantage Plane Plastics. It was a pretty involved job to install them according to the mechanic and needed two guys.

Shades are still available. Keep in mind for shipping that these are large and unusually shaped so it won’t be super cheap, but still cheaper than buying new ones!

Hangar signs have been shipped and are no longer available. Here’s hoping the new owner will post a photo of their new home once they arrive!

Mine are fairly warped/ rough, can you post a photo of what yours looks like now?

No, because I no longer own the plane.  DM me and I will send you a photo from my sales ad.
