1. Your apology is not accepted.
2. You are wrong.
3. A Geo Metro is ugly, a MG Midget is a sports car.

The drag coefficient for the MG is on the order of twice that of the Metro,and even with its smaller frontal area and light weight it will have a higher overall road load horsepower demand than the Metro at highway speed.
You're looking at major streamlining just to catch back up to the Metro.Which would entail a very streamlined roof.
And I don't think your windshield will make it.A-pillars and header are the issue.Just not enough radius.Leaning the windshield might help with the header issue,but you'd have to narrow the glass to allow for the A-pillars otherwise the roof would be wider than the car's body.
I'd consider losing the windshield altogether,do a hard tonneau for the passenger side and try 'n locate a windshield from a Corbin Sparrow and do a 'solo' roof just wide enough for you as we've seen on one of the Metro mod projects or Bug Wing Beetle.
If anyone has already mentioned these things,I apologize for the redundancy.
