I'm going to be working on her.


Explanation:
I think that the verb he is trying to use and might have written wrong is "currar", which in Spain means "to work". When you say "currarsela", it would mean to be working on someone, like as in the sense to wear that person down, or get that person to give in to your demands/desires (i.e., to go out with you, have sex with you, etc).

This would be my best guess.
