you dont want it to sit around in primer. primer is only made to help stick the finish paint on the car. it will not protect it from the weather. a primed only car especially one that has been taken to bare metal will rust from being stored inside let alone outside.

so be prepared to follow all this expensive work with finish paint.

sorry for my ignorance but what makes this car worth a full blown restoration?
