Based on the fact you want to preserve the sheetmetal until you can afford to paint it properly, I would do the following;
Buy a gallon of Rustoleum Rust Reformer, roll or brush it on. This will stop the rust from going further, and convert it to inert.
Here is a link describing the product.

You can buy it in gallons from Graingers for around $60. While I dont advocate this method, I do understand what your wanting to do. I have never used the product, but have seen results on a friends old Jeep. It appeared to work very well.
