err!! with regards to driveshafts this could be a tough call!! lengthening isnt an option!! i dont believe here is a join that would be suitable!!
my personal choice would be to use a subframe like 16v minishop is trying to develop and using all of your original mini suspension!! then the only thing you have to figure out is how you will do the gearshift, fuelling(carbs), ignition (megajolt)and radiator!! the metro driveshafts can be shortened and adapted to suite the mini outer cv or i think you can get uprated outer cv's!!
the back box will work fine and as for link pipes, take a look at the size of the metro downpipe before you make your decision on that!!
just a thought but i would take the engine apart and re-assemble it too if i were you!! its sat in a garage for over a year and hasnt turned a twitch!! not harm in checking it all out before you commit to it!!
