What to do with a dented-a** frame...

So a brief bit ago I bought a 2008 CAAD8 (to my best guess).

I didn't pay much for it - got it from a friend who was ditching the sport, but the frame is dented. Now when I say dented, I mean DENTED. In the way that I started reading the frame flames inspired by single dents fractions of the size of the numerable dents in this frame. Top tube, seat tube, down tube, and NDS chain stay .

On the other hand, the components make it worth it and I just ebayed a new frame that actually fits too.
The fork off the CAAD is still in good shape... Lord only knows how.
I have no idea what happened to this poor bike. By the paint around the dents, it looks like someone took a rubber hammer to it. w/e. I'm over it by now.

But this leaves me with a frame and nothing to do with it. I figure I'll keep the fork in fear of crits or sell it separately. But does anyone have any thoughts on something creative to do with an old CAAD frame? Or what are the chances anyone on ebay will want a dented-as-b**** 58cm frame?

Pictures for your amusement. No, I am NOT riding this. Calm down.
