Recommendations for getting upgrades in Europe (Avionics, interior, paint)

[hazek]

I'm looking to completely refurbish and modernize my Bravo. Does anyone have any good references for this kind of work specifically for Mooney aircraft or in general?

Typically this requires engine, avionics, paint and interior, hardly ever found in one place, Aeromechanica in Switzerland appears to be doing a fair amount of Mooney work, start there and see what they can do, unless you want to fly the bird over the Atlantic

What happened to Mastenbroek Aeroskill?  I never see them mentioned.

I don't no, although I suspect I wont find quality of work as good and the range of options as extensive anywhere else. I'll ask ACG who they recommend for paint and interior. For avionics I've already made up my mind to go to Straubing.

I don't know about what happened to them. But I was trying to get my oxygen tank replaced through them and it took 4 months and repeated asking and calling before I finally received a quote. In the end with no response for such a long time I actually gave up on them and I found another solution locally. This was right around the time when they finally did send over a quote but I didn't even respond to them. Perhaps this is the standard that many of these shops have? But I don't find this kind of communication and jerking around appropriate.
