Wow, what an amazing job! I'm an Opel fan (especially for the 2000-2005 cars) and you made a perfect job!

[@richardcarrescue9029]

Thanks for your words Gabriele!

[@ZenturiAutomotive]

I recently bought a 2001 Corsa C 1.2, and this just made me happy, i love my car and cant wait to make many memories with it!

[@richardcarrescue9029]

I hope you can keep it like the one in the video. I can tell you this, when I went out with the car, people came to me, and congratulated me for the appearance of the car.

[@ZenturiAutomotive]

@@richardcarrescue9029 i wi certainly do my best. Ive got this lovely light blue colour which i love. There are couplw scratches which i would like to repair and some rusting under the doors which i will also work to remove, but other than that, the car is in great condition. I definitely learnt a couple things watching your video. Keep up the good work

[@nelsonduarte3573]

O meu primeiro carro, e actual na verdade é igual a esse, estou a adorar este carro, fizes-te um óptimo trabalho! o meu também precisava assim de um amor na pintura e detalhe no interior

[@Kspcs909]

it's looking brand new ! awesome job!

[@richardcarrescue9029]

Many thanks Kevin!

[@ocelot2234]

Looks great I'm thinking to save a blue one from going to scrap

[@richardcarrescue9029]

Thanks for the comment Ocelot. I hope you can rescue him to a new life. Good Luck!!!!!

[@Tomdocorsayt]

Beatiful 😍😍😍🚀, I love Opel!😎

[@richardcarrescue9029]

Many thanks Igor! 👍

[@johnd.7178]

Good job, you should make more car Restoration videos. People like to watch those , specially on a budget car. But honestly i don't think this car is worth spending 2500€ on. But looks great , i love the factory look, some people go overboard with after market stuff

[@richardcarrescue9029]

Thanks for your comment John. I'm working on two new projects that will be on the channel soon. Subscribe to receive the notification. And yes, I will continue to do restoration and better video productions as the channel grows

[@gmopelvauxhallcorsac44]

Very very beauttiful 👏👏👏

[@richardcarrescue9029]

Many thanks!

[@afrodite01]

Thank you for your video. I have the same car, in white, and i want to clean the engine so bad! Is it safe to use wd 40 in the engine area? It scares me a little bit because of the building of high temperatures when the engine is running. You did great work!

[@richardcarrescue9029]

Hello, thank you for your comment. I did the same job on an white Corsa on the past. Unfortunately I don't have videos or images. You can clean the engine whith W40, it's safe. But you have to clean whith the engine cold. Once you clean exactly like I did, don't torn the engine on for a few hours.👍

[@lynx_eyed9623]

I bought one for the winter so that i don’t have to drive my M135i F20. So far i replaced: Both headlights CO2 censor Both exhaust sensors (Lambda) Valve cover gasket Both mirrors Slip ring on the steering wheel for airbag Oil and all filters Front brakes Unfortunately the EGR system broke yesterday. So I’m going to replace that as well with the Ignition coils. Very fuel efficient and do to the EGR and small displacement it’s only 67€/year tax her in Germany. And in 2 more years I can insure it as Oldtimer for roundabout 130€/year

[@marianeves9959]

Beautiful!

[@lanneaunimes6757]

Does anyone know where is the inside fusebox in this car ? I can't find it 😢

[@cissycamacho6490]

Why didn't you use on the seats the brush that was used in the car celling?

[@richardcarrescue9029]

Generally I use the brush, but in this case the brush is to aggressive to that fabric.

[@Sanderbeeksma]

Can you please do my 2006 GSI next haha. Damn this one looks almost brand new.

[@richardcarrescue9029]

2006 GSI?! What a great machine. keep it in good condition! Thanks for your comment.

[@david3345x]

Lovely work. How did you manage to remove the gearshift cover ? Can it be just taken off or is it like bolted?

[@richardcarrescue9029]

Hi David, thank you very much for your comment, I appreciate it. It's easy to remove, sometimes the hardest is to remove the Gear Shift Knob.

[@david3345x]

@@richardcarrescue9029 and how do I get the gear knob off? Pull it? Or do you need any tools?

[@richardcarrescue9029]

The best way is just remove the base, pull it up and cut the plastic clamp. If the gear knob is in good condition, no need to take out.

[@evelynbarkoczi1447]

i have the same car ! 2003 opel corsa c type.....could you do this to me also? :)

[@Paulo_Alves244]

Bem parecido com o Corsa Hatch Brasileiro

[@zsoltpapp3363]

Where i live you can buy one of these in good condition for 1500 euros. The work you have put in would cost me a lot more.

[@richardcarrescue9029]

Thanks for your comment. This car is from Portugal. It can be sold here for €2800 at the moment in this condition. I ended up spending more money than I initially calculated. But it was something I already knew could happen.

[@omedna]

2500 EUR? You just spent double than the car normal retial value. The results are awsome though. Wish I could spend that much to mine :)

[@richardcarrescue9029]

Thanks for your comment Omedan. I'm from Portugal and here this car in these conditions can be worth around €2800. In the UK for example, a 2012 opel Corsa/Vauxhall, you can buy for £2300. The used car market here is totally different. If you want to subscribe to the channel, more projects are on the way👍.

[@omedna]

@@richardcarrescue9029 I totally understand that. Here in Hungary if you find a C cosa in factoy condition it could cost 2200-2500€. But you spent 2500€ so you could sell it 2800€? I just wondered the "before" condition's value :) But lets not argue about that. Nice effort!! I like it.

[@konliner9286]

You need to clean the light fog.

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe.....

Car is too old, won’t It be unreliable?

[@richardcarrescue9029]

Mechanically, the car was ok. Two months ago, I spoke to the person who took the car. She hasn't had any mechanical problems so far, except for a few simple things.
