New owner and need advice on recalls

Hello everyone. I just purchased a 2004 rx8 and I need some advice. I bought this as a non-runner. I am trying to get it registered but there is an incomplete recall for emissions on the car. Without this recall being done, I can't get the car registered. I called up the dealer to get the recall done and they won't do it without the car being able to run. Since it's a non-runner, I'm stuck in a bind. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get through this? Thanks all!
this is the recall

Safety Recall: FUEL TANK LEAK
Mazda Recall #: 1017E
NHTSA Recall #: 17V-354
Recall Date: 06/01/17
Recall Repair Status: Incomplete

Safety Risk

Continuous use of the vehicle may allow the deterioration of discharge pipe to progress, leading to a crack in the pipe and subsequent fuel leak, which may increase a risk of fire.

Remedy

The repairs of recall 0516J and 1017E will be performed at the same time on your RX-8 vehicle. Your Mazda dealer will replace the fuel pump rings with new ones and install heat insulation pads onto the fuel tank to address the concern of recall 0516J and replace the fuel pump filter body with a modified one to address the concern of recall 1017E.
