First time wandering into this part of the forum, and I used to love taking scrap parts from car projects and turning them into things.

Perhaps snake some wiring in it and turn it into a weird chandelier? Or put lights that you can aim, hang it flat on a wall and point it at something like reading lamps or to light up art work?
