I have a 12"round sink 5" deep that is surplus to me. It's yours for $20 postage. It's stainless steel, but dirty and a few rust spots. It will clean up OK. Send me a PM with your address if you want it. PM me your email if you want pictures.
Aloha

If the sink babysnakes shows works for you, I have one just sitting in my stash. It has the drain attached as shown in the photo. I'm happy to pay it forward - just let me know.

great offer thankyou !!
Can I push my luck and ask for measurements  especially the total height including drain ; space is very limited . 
and I wouldn't want to take anything that someone else could use .
I am putting running water and a stove under the hood of a very modified " bug "

Its 14-5/8" long x 9-1/2" wide. These measurements are to the outside of the lip. The hole would be about 1/2" less in each dimension. Depth is 4" below the top of the counter (accounting for the lip on top). The drain sticks down about 1-3/4 below that (to the bottom of the threads). It is exactly like the one in the photo and came out of my bus Big Emma.
I also have the little faucet that it had. It has a little toggle on/off to connect to an electric pump.

Stainless steel pet food bowls ? A large dog bowl might fit.
Punch a hole in the bottom for a drainer. A bit of peening around the hole with a hammer to create a lip so the drain fitting is at the lowest point of the sink.
Fit a small diameter sink drainer from an RV store.

Don't worry, I'm over it already 
If you have a 3/4" socket set and a press you can add the recess before cutting the hole out, use an oversize socket underneath and a smaller one that just fits into it above, you may want to drill a pilot hole and draw some rings to get them centered over each other first. 2 short sections of muffler pipe would also do it.

progress ;
I got a pm today that the faucet is on it's way
The original plan was to have the stove in the back but the depth of the sink and drain changed all that .

There was someone here a few years ago with a custom interior and a similar bowl, they didn't bother with the drain and just left the bowl loose to lift out and dump to empty, if you went that route the job looks like it's done right now.
