Storing, preserving and possibly installing rear quarter panels on 1970 911

[Marken]

I have a 1970 911T that has been converted into a RS clone. I recently bought used left and right rear quarter panels removed from a 1970 911T. I plan on keeping the panels in anticipation of me or a future owner going back to a narrow body. Does anyone have any recommendations of how to store and or prevent further deterioration of them? Also, do I just need a small section around the exterior fender wells for my possible future project? Thanks!

Easiest fix would likely be just the lips. Paint them with some thick Rustolem type paint and they should be fine.

If the car has RS flares on it now, you're going to need most of the replacement panels to cover the RS hole.
I'm getting a lot of these now; people wanting to go back to stock flares.
Once you do a flare, and want to go back to stock, you have to cover an even larger area than the first flare.

Thanks. Will I just need the "skin" and not the whole structure of the panel if that makes sense?

Is there a source for replacement panels to undo a flared rear fender or will you have to do as the OP has done: find a complete quarter panel?

Nick, that's what targas are for.

As John said, I would just leave the parts you have alone until such time as you need them.
