Kim,
Super glad to hear the Kubota is project is making progress again. I was wondering if anyone has seen or heard of a RIOT with a diesel engine? The RIOT is an 1100lb. kit car that uses a Bug pan. It boast super lightweight and a very slippery design. With the right diesel it should go well over 100mpg. The drawbacks are no hard top available and the guy who bought the design is now selling it as a complete car. The plus side is that complete car can be had for as little as $10k - $20K.
Something else to consider for other diesel Metro projects would be Volkswagen diesels. Maybe the engine and transmission could be swapped.
