          It would probably work better if you used the activated
      charcoal that is used for water filtration in aquariums in shallow
      open pans.  Although, I've often used a bucket with a gallon of
      water and a couple of cups of vinegar set in a car or a room in
      the house to absorb odors very effectively - and cheap.<br>

        I suspect this is why we have the charcoal filters in our late
        MGBs. The charcoal absorbs airborne combustibles (gasoline/oil
        vapors and perhaps also the products of incomplete combustion
        such as old cigarette smoke.  I would suspect the more surface
        area of the charcoal is exposed to the air, the more effective
        it would be, so I wouldn't just  put an open bag in the car, I'd
        put the bag in a good sturdy plastic bag and go at it with a BFH
        - pulverizing it as much as possible, spread it out on large
        trays and put it the trays in the car.

                      Get a bag of charcoal, open and put it in the car
                      now. It should absorb the smoke smell over time. <br>
                      In some ways we are lucky our cars are not highly
                      sought after. It makes it much easier to build and
                      use them the way we want to. If uou can't enjoy
                      your car, what is the point?<br>

                            seats, which are totally shredded and beyond
                            anyone's preservation abilities.  The
                            material is simply gone, and the insides are
                            now outsides.  So, I suppose I could replace
                            the front seats in matching old leather,
                            dyed to match . . . .but alas, then it's not
                            original anymore . . . is it?</div>
                          <div> </div>
                          <div>Likewise, the carpets are history . . .
                            they have to be replaced.  Again, then it's
                            not original anymore.  "It's only original
                            once", I've heard.  Then, there's the
                            headliner.  Not a rip or tear or stain in
                            it.  BUT . . . dear Mrs. Millicent Rose
                            Thompson must have smoked about 85 million
                            cases of cigarettes inside the poor thing,
                            and I literally can not stand to even
                            briefly sit inside of it.  So, that
                            headliner absolutely has to go . . . and who
                            knows what else to get rid of the wreak of
                            cigarette smoke . . . I guess you gathered
                            I'm a non-smoker :)))  Again, it's no longer
                            original, and that headliner, together with
                            the seats and carpet and "NON negotiable".</div>
                          <div> </div>
                          <div>The overall black paint is pretty much in
                            good shape . . . except for a few spots,
                            which I suppose I could just ignore, along
                            with dings in the front wings . . . suppose
                            I could repair and spot paint just those?</div>
                          <div> </div>
                          <div>Then, the engine . . . which was out of
                            the car when I bought it, and obviously
                            wasn't removed just for exercise.  The
                            engine bay shows some "bodging".  Now we
                            have to back up a bit too.  Prior to getting
                            "Millicent Rose", I'd already bought 2 gals
                            (and the hardener and the reducer) of a sort
                            of  Midnight Blue type color paint, to paint
                            the ZB I was originally going to restore,
                            along with new, from Lou, macrame front door
                            pulls, in a biscuit color . . . 'cuz that's
                            the color we wanted for the interior of that
                            "first" car.  Oh, and the Rivergate kit to
                            go with the Nissan 5 speed is already
                            sitting here, along with Allen's 1800
                            adapter plate.  </div>
                          <div> </div>
                          <div>So, should I "eat" all that, and keep
                            "Milicent" stock.  My unbelievable, super
                            supportive wife even said "So, do the
                            original car with all the upgrades, and the
                            color we want (blue, biscuit interior), and
                            then preserve the other one!"  Wow, some
                            bride eh?  T'was I who actually said
                            something like "Not gonna happen".  Takes me
                            about 5 years to do a car.  I could be block
                            sanding in my casket at that rate.</div>
                          <div> </div>
                          <div>So thanks Steven for bringing this up. 
                            I'm enjoying the responses so far.  My mind
                            is made up, and I know there are others who
                            will vehemently disagree with my decision,
                            but in the end, ya know what?  It's our
                            car!  I'm not doing all this to please a few
                            folks at the next car show or GT or
                            whatever.  We'll never make everyone happy,
                            but if my bride likes it, I will be pleased.</div>

                            Yes, I do plan to do what pleases me.  I am
                            not a slave to the <br>
                            opinions of others, but I am interested in
                            the thoughts of people I <br>
                            respect.  I have no plans for a full
                            restoration at this time.  I am <br>
                            going to keep driving my car and enjoying
                            it.  I'm not really looking <br>
                            for votes on what I should do.  I am
                            interested in hearing what <br>
                            people think of this trend in general.  I am
                            also interested in <br>
                            learning more techniques and strategies for
                            owning and maintaining a <br>
                            car with a preservation attitude.<br>
