    It makes you wonder how many cars ended up in the scrapyard when with a bit of time and effort they could have been turned around and had many more years of service for someone who can't afford a new one.Great job.

    Absolutely loving this series, found it a few weeks ago and watched them all. I love seeing a normal car that most people would just scrap and seeing it be brought back from the dead to such a high quality. I've recommended the series to so many people 🤣

    I loved these Corsa episodes! I personally enjoy it more when someone like you restores a common car for common people instead of restoring expensive cars like a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Greetings from Argentina!

    I wish all the junk cars in my country got this type of makeover.
    You can drive a cheap old car, but that doesn't excuse you from neglecting it.
    Fantastic job my man!😊

    Use Steam for interior cleaning and a massage gun helps loosen debris with a nearby vacuum.

    We got this car in Mexico as rebadged Chevrolet and renamed Chevy. It was so popular it became it's own thing and was sold along it's second gen which kept the name Corsa but still under Chevrolet. I used to scoff at it when I was young but now, anytime I see one well conserved and cared I remark that it's a good looking car. Also, the current state of the market in the country has brought them back as reliable somewhat cheap options for those who need a car. Although it's hard to find one in near as good condition as yours. Loved the two videos I've watched so far, the detailing ones, and I'd like to do this two my current car, a '18 Toyota Avanza mini-truck. Maybe someday I'll upload the videos of her restoration as well. The ASMR vibe, btw, soothing af.

    I am a fan of the Corsa myself, and seeing the whole process of restoring this car was a very pleasant experience. I liked the way you tackled the project, being thorough but not crossing the boundaries of diminishing returns. I wish I could make this little car mine. I know how to appreciate a clean lived-in vehicle, gives it character. Great job!

    Wow, great job! I actually owned one until 5 years ago. I loved it for its simplicity and reliability. Did little non-engine repairs, clean ups and some rust patches. But if I had had your mechanical skills, the engine would not have died from overheating after the cooler started leaking heavily.

  • @Devastator0

    Love your channel and the work that you do mate! It's great viewing!! A quick note on the tips for interior cleaning and the question you have about the removing of the paint, I STRONGLY recommend obtaining a good steam cleaner and then applying the steam to those stubborn stains and gunk (like the paint) you want to remove. It's soften them all up and make it much, much easier to remove. Steam cleaning also works really well on interior plastics but you just have to be careful not to apply the heat at any location for too long, just need to find that good balance. Keep up the great work you do!!

    I would really like to see a Volvo 240, 940, or 760 turbo, if funds allow of course. Any Volvo with the red block engine. I know how expensive these projects can get. I know there was a 740 featured a few years back, but you can never go wrong with another red block. Very nice restoration on the Opel.

    If you patch the hole in the seat, you could also patch the paint mark. A patch would add more tidy character than the paint. Or go all in and touch up the paint mark with more paint to look tidy or interesting.
