Changing scenary object to a vehicle.

Hi, I have been working on this mod for awhile and have mentioned it alot in the IRC channel but here is what I am trying to do: I want to change a scenery object (in boarding action) to a FULLY functioning vehicle. I have succeeded in this seemingly easy task, but the problem is that I can't get it to successfully respawn. I have fiddled with tags, idents, meta... etc I am assuming the issue is that the game still considers the object a scenery object (spark still clasifies it scen) and so it cannot respawn. I am fearing that this may be difficult to do. I am hoping I will be able to do this with spark edit 3, but since there are no vehicles already in Boardingaction I wonder If i can put one in even with spark 3.
Any help would be appreciated (please be very specific in what to do, because the issue may be that I am doing something just slightly incorrectly).

Im afraid youre right about the 'still scenery' thing, but Im sure that there's a way to fix this...

bump... anybody any ideas? seems like somebody else beat me to my mod and released something similar to what I was doing, but with the same glitch.

then it's probably safe to assume that no one can do this yet, or at least they can but not without a LOT of time...
