A good condition car (no rust) will run you about $10k. The swap stuff will total about another $10k (motor $4k, subframe + flip front $4k, $1-2k in misc stuff).

My friend spent $3.5k on his rust bucket and we're doing a ground up restoration on it (acid dipped the body, cut weld rusted panels, new paint, lots of new bolts/fittings, upgraded brakes, new interior, etc). I'm thinking he'll spend close to $20-25k on his build. Oh, forgot to mention he bought a tig welder, mig welder, and plasma cutter just for the project
