I am the one and only owner of an 84 2 door. I used to be a regular here until I was caught in a flash flood back in 2011. Since the Chevette was never intended to be a submersible I ended up garaging it. After 26 years it was like family and I couldn't part with it.
This was followed by several years of personal health problems so I had to let it sit there.
Fast forward to today. I've recently regained a good part of my health and I'm looking to do the same for my 2000 pound friend. If feasible. I've read just a few of the more recent posts and I find availability of parts to be a recurrent theme. The one concerning water pumps was especially troublesome since I can see needing to replace one of those a some point. So I guess I'm just asking how hard is it to keep one of these operating daily or should I only be thinking in terms weekend outings at Steak N Shake?
