Default Aw Crap, Missing Doublers

I recently purchased a Pica Duelist at a swap shop that was partially built. Everything but the nacelles were complete... Well I was looking through the box yesterday and I noticed there were some parts still in the box. Upon closer inspection I realized it was 2 sets of doublers for the inside ribs on the wing. My question is, how critical a flaw will this be? I don't plan on doing any aggressive flying with this plane, loops rolls, and stall turns...

Is there anything I can do to fix this problem short of ripping the sheeting off the wing???? What about fiberglassing the center section?? A 2-3" wide strip?

OR, will it be ok as is?

Thanks, Mike
