Alright, so I figured that it would be easier just to start a blog dealing with my 122s rebuild rather than clogging many many forum pages with "hey look at me" threads.  I acquired a 1967 122s in December 2011.  The vehicle would barely start and the tires would not hold air, even though I remember the add saying something about being driven often.  Since the purchase, I have made the following mods/repairs:

New fuel sending unit (gauge actually works)
Hot Spark magnetic ignition
Silicone vacuum lines and fuel lines
Ipd performance plug wires
New battery (although I take issue with Autozone for not honoring their own warranty)
New fuel pump/filter
15X7 Torque thrust 2's with Falken tires
Rubber valve cover gasket

As soon as the Hot Spark was installed, the car cranked every time, until the battery died.  With that replaced, the car started well...kind of.  Now,, if sitting for a couple days, it cranks within about 3 seconds of turning the key.  After driving, it takes longer and longer to start, with adequate time in holding the accelerator to the floor. 

I have a new Intake/Exhaust gasket to go on, a set of progressive rate lowering springs (3" rear and 2" front) courtesy of John Parker with Vintage Performance Developments (http://www.v-performance.com/about.html) an 8 circuit Painless Wiring kit and several other small projects as well.

So, on the the plan.  I am planning to do the following over the coming months:

Strip the interior, and trunk (and repair the rust holes that I discovered)
Repaint the engine (original orange, with painted carb body and steering box to match)
Paint and seal the engine bay
Re-wire the entire car
Replace all lights minus the headlamps with LED's
Clean and repair the suspension
Repair a large rust hole in the frame I found
Full (home-custom) custom interior and trunk
Stripping, straightening and repainting the body
Custom V-Performance exhaust

So, that is the plan so far, not counting anything that may just come up while I am trudging through my tasks.  I have to send many thank yous out to folks at Swedespeed (http://www.swedespeed.com/) including George Dill for providing me, a first timer that wants more than anything to preserve a piece of motoring history, a font of information and guidance.  Thanks guys.

Check back every once in a while, as I will update the blog as I start/complete projects.

Here are a few pics of what has been done so far...
