Hello!
In my bedroom, I have a wood panel wall that I'd like to get rid of. Since I wasn't the one who put it up, I'm not sure if it's glued or nailed to the wall, but when I examine the entire wall closely, I don't see any nail heads or signs that it might be nailed, so I'm just going to assume it's glued in some way. The underlying surface is a concrete wall, by the way. Now, my question is; if I want to remodel the wall, do you think I can cover/nail over the current wall with MDF boards and set studs in the pattern I want, or should I first tear down the current wall and do the whole process of filling the wall, sanding, and then building "from scratch"?
I would love some help, thanks in advance!
I'll upload some pictures of the navy blue wall I have right now, note that the small screws visible were for a picture that was hanging there. The picture of the gray panel wall is how I want the wall to be.

It's probably screwed into the groove; can't you find any screws in the plank farthest to the right? Slightly allergic to building in extra materials so I would have removed it; if you're going to put up boards anyway, you don't need to do any groundwork. I thought the wall you're going to remove was really cool.
If it's the appearance of the second car you're after, then slap on a thin plywood, paint it, and then add the moldings. You can then glue and nail with brads where the moldings will go, so you won't have to use filler.
