Well, if you're going to use all the componentry of a Metro, why not stick with all the cabinetry too? Whip out the Sawzall and hack off everything aft of the doors, then fab up a new single-wheel rear.

Advantages: you can lengthen the overall profile to better optimize airflow.

Disadvantages: you need good welding skills.
