Not-IB - Single skin wall /garage makeover advice
Fuchs915 replied to Fuchs915's topic in Garage, Tools and Manuals
Many thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I am in the process of doing the floor to keep the dust, etc down so will have a look at the seal too for the wall. I have a load of Duramat that will be going in too to make the floor pretty I think at some stage I will add a bit of insulation (it's an age thing) but getting it all painted does seem sensible as a starting point. The walls, etc are all good and dry, so hopefully they'll stay that way. thanks for the pointers. Kevin -

Excellent! This looks fantastic Richard, what a cool motor to be rumbling around in. Look forward to hearing more about it and see what you plan. -
Morning all. I have some budget (Ta, Mrs J) to get the garage tidied after a few years of making do. I have an integral garage with the house, with a single skin brick wall on one side (longer side). The garage door and the other 2 sides are (mostly) within the property. Hope that helps set the scene. My question is what ought to be done, if anything, with the single skin wall? As the wall is exposed, what is good practice? Space is at a premium, so I want to limit loss of room as much as possible. The garage doesn't get that cold, assume helped by it been 3/4 in the building any way, so am OK to have it 'cooler' if it saves space. Brick work is solid, no damage, etc. The garage walls will be clad with something to make at all clean and tidy. I did wonder if simple using a pvc style cladding would be enough, some kind of vapour barrier (? right term?), however thought the clever peeps on here my be able to provide some guidance. Thanks in advance Kevin

Was there an update on this? I would be keen to hear any feedback as doing the top correctly is overdue following my past ham fisted efforts. Thanks

Afternoon all. Going through the next list of planned to dos. I have a couple of small repairs to the body, some bubbling on the near side quarter panel, which should be straightforward. However, further along the panel, as it gets to the area above the rear lights, the paint is splitting/cracked and suspect I will have some additional work to factor it. I recall this area is a rust trap between the body and the light fittings and wondered if there is a repair panel that is used, given it looks a pretty compound curve. Cheers Kevin

Good job, Mark. Spilled blood is part of the provenance!

Hopefully not too many withdrawal symptoms, Alex. I am sure the new custodian will enjoy what you’ve done to the car. Thoughts about what comes next? Have you still got the Beetle?

Fantastic work there! The monochrome theme looks great, the seats do a great job pulling it all together. -
