    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.

      @@SNOUTxTOUT the 'green future' is what they want you to believe, but isn't in any way, shape or form feasible if the industry looks at things like cars as a throwaway product. Which it has become. Cars aren't meant to be repaired and driven around for 30+ years anymore, let alone 10+. Many cars are meant to be driven for 7-10 years and then head to the scrapyard. It's such a pathetic thing. fuck late capitalism and consumerism.

      Scrappage schemes (like Cash for Clunkers) force many owners' hands, as does the insurance cartel. Here in Ireland no insurance companies would touch a car like that, unless it was insured as a weekend classic. It's a shame, as these were the kind of cars me and my friends got our licenses and started driving in.

    Few months ago me and my mom did the same thing in my Volkswagen gol, but we changed the foam of every seat since it was too old, dirty, and smashed from years of use. I think was easier to take all the fabric out of the seat and wash it apart, and doing it that way also made possible to restore a few parts from the seat structure. Loved the video buddy, greetings from Brazil!

    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!!

    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.

But if I had had your mechanical skills, the engine would not have died from overheating after the cooler started leaking heavily.
