Looks like a DID alloy front wheel? Extra bonus!
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

any vaguely key shaped device that fits in the hole will unlock the gas tank.
If it works good, it looks good...

There is also a document floating around on how to make your own key for the ignition, could be a fun project and temporary fix. I can forward the information when I am at a computer.

If you can't get plates for it, take it to ITS Tile Service. They do a re-creation of it for you, legally. The way it works for us in Colorado is: they 'sell' it to someone in a state where it can re retitled, then it comes back with a valid Registration and temporary plate from that state. Then I have 30 days (it might be 90 days?) to get it to the State Patrol for a VIN verification, after which I can have it titled in my name. I have to pay Retitle Fee, Sales Tax (for the listed price, but more than $251 minimum), Ownership Tax, Road and Bridges Fee, and License Fee. About $280 here, plus the sales tax, which varies by county.

Whew...  :P

Is there a "sunshine" tax" yet?

That would be in Florida >:( >:(

It seems as though that link has been deleted from the site. I have a pdf of it that I saved I can email it to you, pm me your address..

also you can sometimes just take off the ignition and bring it to ACE and they will cut you a key for it for ~10$
