The tank is probably still in good condition - I'd find a way to use that as the pressure vessel for something like a potato gun :D The compressor block could make some interesting modern art. You could use a bandsaw and make a cutaway model of how a compressor works (if theres enough of the compressor left intact) (Yay for alberta winters. I'm stuck all winter with no garage so no 'outdoor' instructables.
