first post says back to metal

Sorry, read that, what I meant was is it going to be back to a bare shell, and bare metal? Windows out, everything. Up most respect either way.
Should be very nice. Ref the humidity, the humidity stat was reading 89% at first in the garage, now down to a manageable 50%. It was filling a bucket a day for the first couple of days!
I was advised by the bodyshop guys not to waxoyl (or similar) until after all the paintwork as it plays havoc with it for them.
Wow, fantastic project. Look forward to more pics and updates. Just be carefull with the weather in this country. One month over here did more damage than 40 in the States! Thanks to some excellent advice from guys on here I now have the garage at a constant 25 degrees and 50% humidity.
Rather than rushing into buying the first one you see, "I need one tomorrow", why don't you rent a cheap hatch for a week while you look. There are some very cheap rental deals about
Either way all the best with your search.
This was the bit that was confusing me that by warming it up I am in effect increasing the chance of moisture in the air. So I would probably be better with a good dehumidifier and just use a space heater when I need to raise the temperature for spraying or if it's really cold for working.
As everything above but regarding your front door, if it is a pvc one or one with a eurolock, you can put the key in and lock it but leave the key in the horizontal position, i.e 1/4 turn it and you can't unlock it from the outside with another key.
Hope you get it all sorted.
Oi! I can take the cold and damp, it's the car I'm worrying about. I've become bl**dy paranoid about rust. I'd have it climate controlled in there if I could afford it. How do you go on when you are spraying stuff?
And as regards the living room, I'm already in enough trouble for having half the car in the house!
Heating is winning it for me. I have been using plug in halogen ones but was concerned with heating the air up then cooling down over night, hence the idea of fitting a boiler in there with a thermostat and trvs..This way I get a more constant temperature. I don't like the idea of leaving electric heaters on in there over night. Plus I have just had a horrendous electric bill more in keeping with running a small village.
The joy of this forum is that we seem to have experts from all sorts of backgrounds so as per the title has anyone got any actual experience of the pros and cons of each or both in a garage or work situation?
I am concerned about moisture causing a problem with the car.
The garage is a double skin brick/block construction with cavity insulation and tiled roof with 50mm Kingspan between the joists. The sectional double door is insulated as well as the concrete slab.
I can get gas into the garage and fit a separate boiler and maybe three rads or just run a dehumidifier or both.
The advantage of heating is obviously it will be a much warmer environment to work in, but is this on its own going to keep moisture at bay or indeed could I be making it worse?
Walking the dog late at night I was convinced a neighbours house was being burgled by the noise in the dark when this damp great thing came scurrying out frightening the death out of me and a 10 stone Rotty!
I just like the following -
1. Saying to new people
2. Talking total b0110cks
I think that covers it really

Have you considered politics Dave?
I think I've been spoilt by this forum.When I joined the JAAAAG one I was hoping for the same reception, but no one would talk to me. Very friendly bunch on here.
Legionnaires Disease is caused by bacteria that thrive in water between 20c and 45c, and dispersed as an aerosol for inhalation. Unless you're using a bucket of stagnant water with a fan blowing over it as your aircon, you should be fine
I had a feeling I was doing a Will!!!!!!!
Not wanting to worry you but isn't there a link to Legionnaires Disease and poorly maintained air con units? (I'm sounding like Will now....scary face x4!)
