First ones are simple, a change bowl from the front diff cover of my 06 jeep, and a coaster from an inspection cover off the transfer case of my 46.
I've had these aluminum oil pan parts left over from a diesel motor, as soon as I saw the one with a large rectangular hole in it, I knew I wanted to make a picture frame out of it. made it stand up on it's own yesterday, just waiting on my print to arrive

I've got a broken clutch disc from my 46 that I'm going to turn into a clock. I'll probably use left over pieces of TIG rod that are to short to use for welding, to make the numbers. It cleaned up nicely.
Anything that is aluminum, I just clean up and leave it. Anything that is steel, I clean up and then spray a clear coat on it to keep it from rusting farther.
I've got more project brewing in my mind, but these are some simple ones
