Notice that it looks like a living room now and so, therefore, new lighting is probably a good idea, maybe a new window. Seal the floor. Sink. $25K and fourteeen months later, you're done. Or just slap two coats of good paint on it, and be done by Sunday at a total cost of $100.

I'm having the loft/office above my workspace (700 s/f)drywalled/mudded/textured in the next few weeks. Total cost, w/materials @ less than $2k. Insulation included in that price.
Wood paneling in an attached garage is not a good idea. Not fire-proof/resistant. If a car or piece of equipment catches fire, poof...there goes the entire home. At least with drywall, there is some fire resistancy, which will allow time to extinguish or evacuate. Codes requires 5/8" drywall in attached garages in most locales.
