Probably a better idea.

BTW - if you wanted to do that with a non-driven Metro, you can retain trunk space in the front by using a 600CC bike frame/motor/tranny/wheel for the drive. The whole setup could be easily removable and the front triple tree bolted back on for use as a motorcycle as well, and the front of the car, where the old engine was, could be boxed in and used for a large trunk. Bike for when it's just you, Modded Metro for getting groceries or parts for other projects.

Could be made to take about an hour to convert back and forth.
