I would rather buy bodywork in a bundle to save some cash - but don't want to have it sitting in a cold damp garage for over a year slowly deforming and/or potentially getting damaged!!
personally you want to get it asap.

the theory of it losing shape in storage is partly incorrect. to set fibreglass so that it doesnt move again you need to expose it to extreems of temperature. if you get it really cold and really hot as long as you dont ever exceed those temperatures in the future it shouldnt lose its shape. so the trick is to stick it out in the garden in the hot sun prior to storing it.
