Nothing wrong with the Mercedes but the brakes-and you want to keep the truck drivable?
Honestly, i'd just fix the brakes, drive it around and get a feel for the car. Once you see the FE you could try to Ecomod the Mercedes for maximum FE, get rid of unneeded weight etc. If you change the motor/tranny at a later date, you'll be more familiar with the Tech and any mechanical surprises would have already been discovered(and fixed) before the eventual transfer.
Assuming I owned your car though, the suspension-enhanced, two-seater,Chop-n-channel MercedesTruck posted earlier would rather appeal to me! Compared to your EV Metro, such a mod would be child's play in both effort and cost-and it would likely have a lower CD than the truck right off the bat...
