Some of you have been following my build blog on my 97 GSX shell. I bought the shell from a friend who bought it from the last registered owner with title in Aurora Illinois. My friend did not register the shell as it is just that a shell. Not driveable. No motor no tranny. It's a project car and went into his storage. He bought a 97 supercharged corvette and sold me the 97 GSX shell. He dropped it off here and I promptly put it into my storage. I have spent the better part of the year working on it. I didn't register it as it wasn't driveable. The DMV doesn't have a problem with me not registering it since it wasn't on the road.
Ok long story short I had been expecting to get the GSX running last month and put the title into the cargo pocket of my pants. It actually started 6 days later and then to my horror I found out I sent the title thru the wash. It's nothing but paper pulp. The WI DMV was no help.
I did not know the original registered owner in Illinois. My buddy did not save his name or telephone number. His screen name here on tuners is turbodsmawd420. He lives in Aurora Illinois. DMV is saying basically the only way to get this thing registered in WI is to have him re title it in Illinois and then send me the new title. I don't know his name. If anyone on here knows him personally I really need to get a hold of him.

Having the same issue as you, though the title was damaged during a storm and a freak window accident. Traded a guy, told him to change the 02 sensor as it was on simulation simply to get to him due to the 02 sensor taking a Dive. It was setup properly, but I don't enjoy 02 simulation via Link. Car drove and ran perfect when I loaded it onto the transport companies truck. Even have videos of it and images of 170+ compression across the board, and everyone here knows that I took damn good care of Wrex. Week later he's posting on facebook about doing 30+psi tuning pulls. Next week after that the head gasket blew. When the car I traded for arrived there were tons of issues with it and it was covered in mud. Now that I've contacted him regarding help, he's stated that he won't help unless I give him $1000+ for the car as it 'was messed up when it was delivered to him'.
