10k to do a sleeper
say if you had 10 grand to do a really quick sleeper, what would you do?
free labour and not TOO much fabrication, what engine and car would you pick?

As with anything i would start with a good shell

What i mean is, you could probably use just about anything and any engine. Do you actually intend to build this?

10K doesnt actually get you a great deal by the time everythings bought unless your saving on labour charges by doing it yourself. im not far off 10K with my bmw atm and its no where near finished.
my last project, a cosworth converted rwd toyota celica cost me £28000 and took me 8 years .

what you have to think of is i put a lot of time in to the build of the van so what i got it for has no real bearing on the price i would ask for it

Depends who does it all and what you use.
He said without labour etc i think.
My civic stands me at 2k ish. With 5 times that amount i could be spending money on silly things.
