One more thing...

Well, here is one more "-ectomy". The plate that covers the front of the car where the radiator wasn't. The radiator on a Metro is so small, it only covers half of the front area, so they cover the other half with this sheet metal.



I also played around a bit with my old Yellow Top mock-up (not that I am going to use those, but it was handy) to see what there is for space for batteries.



Looks like there's lots of room in there for batteries.

And that's only under the hood. I still have all that room in back!
