I basically taking the "cab" portion off of the metro and building a new frame around it. Basically only using it for the doors, the windows, and the already designed drive train. It'll be nice to have a car with windshield wipers and stuff.

The only thing that is aerodynamically undesirable is the high pressure zone at the base of the windshield and the overall shape of the windshield. Unfortunately, there isn't much I can do about that.
