Car won't stay running at idle.

I bought a 93 GT back in November. It's not on the road yet as it needs exhaust and some suspension work first but I'd started it up a few times and drove it around to keep it going.

It's been really cold here the past few months and I haven't started the car since Christmas time. Tonight I went out and started it up. Started without too much hesitation but then after a while, it started bogging and idling between 1200 down to 500rpm until finally after about 5 minutes, it just cut off. I started it back up and had the same issue.

If I sit in the car and gas it a little before it wants to die, it recovers, runs for about 2 more minutes and then has the same issue. Any ideas?
