Daphne,

While I can appreciate wanting to try something just to see if it might be 
helpful, I really fail to see any benefit from trying to look at ultrastructure 
of tissues that have been fixed and stored in this way. The ultrastructure will 
be compromised, and it will be difficult to get any useful information from 
fixation or storage artifact in the tissues. You would need to validate your 
findings on freshly, properly fixed materials anyway, so why not just start 
with the best possible chance for success and use the right stuff right off the 
bat?

Good luck no matter which way you decide to proceed.
