Agreed, there isn't a rush, it spent many years in the barn, won't hurt to sit in your garage. That said, depending on how bad that rust is, simply getting the engine running to get on the road may not be a great option.
But remember this. True collectors don't "own" cars, we are simply their caretakers for a few years. Keeping these cars from the crusher or reclaimed to the earth is our first goal. I've had my mercedes for almost 20, my 911 for almost 10; at some point we'll pass these children on to new parents who will hopefully care for them as we have. Maybe your part of the story was simply rescuing this car for another to restore, or maybe you drop a wade of cash and build your dream 911 but in my view you've already saved it. And you have an amazing story that you get to say over and over again (like when I almost bought a tucker on ebay)!
