No, I selected the top and rotated it about the bottom of the windshield.

I put spacers above the steering column mount to lower it, about 1.5 inch, now I can see over the steering wheel. Id do another 3/4 if I had longer studs. Id have to do something with the wipers as theyd also block the view. Maybe use the pass side only and mod the arms to wipe the whole windshield, have it stop vertical, in the center of the windshield.

I don't know how to do the doors and windows, I assume that I cant use the stock glass. Im thinking maybe using PC panes that slide horizontal, like the Subaru SVX.

It may be just too big a project and then it would still be a geo metro. I can get a dohc 4 cyl trans, but not a sohc one.

The white car has a mid-engine drivetrain swap and a slant chop. It looks like maybe you left the roof stock height and raised the beltline. [?] That's doing it the hard way.

I like Metros. I got my personal best mileage in one. Maybe flip it for a better example?
