Bugeye title needed

About a month ago I purchased a Bugeye body. It was reasonably cheap, and I'm in the process of putting on all of the missing bits from an MG Midget parts car I've had for a while. Lotsa fun!
Obviously at the time I bought it, I did not
think about getting it registered (it was a
good deal!). Other than a bill of sale I have
no paperwork and the VIN tag looks like its been missing for many years. I'm hoping someone who has junked a Bugeye in the past (yeah, right) saved the title and VIN tag. I'll be happy to pay a reasonable price or swap for similar MGB-GT title (car that I scrapped a few years ago).

If anyone here has any other suggestions on how to get this thing registered in CA, I'd like to hear from you. A couple of calls made to the DMV resulted in nothing useful at all.
 
There are some companys in Hemmings that specialize in this. I belive that many are in Alabama as the laws are favoritble there.

I found this list with a quick Google search. I have zero knowledge about working with any of the guys below, so be sure before you use one...

I used US Title Service and had no problems whatsover. I am sure any of the above will work. Check prices. They vary. Best to call and talk to them direct.
 
Steve, I think you're in trouble. You're not even supposed to take those ID plates off to paint under them. Especially in Calif, if a trooper doesn't like the look of your rivets the car is practically on the way to the crusher! Posted just the other day on the Cobra forum was a notice that Titles Unlimited (Alabama)is being sued by the state of Calif for fraud regarding washed titles issued by them. The state is interested in getting all the back sales taxes etc that shifty owners have done them out of. Bob
