Quarter panels had to be painted with better primer than I did previously... Old primer soaked water and began to chip.

Did a lot of sanding and it became decent.
Hope that new primer is much better.





This needs final sanding and some black paint to give me some idea, if everything is fine and smooth..

Did some sanding and sprayed black and shiny paint to reveal any issues...

Pretty nice, I think...





There are something above wheel arch.



This side is quite nice, I think...



Not so bad any more.



Wheel arch needs some attention.



Front fenders got some paint too...



Next thing is to sand front fenders and paint those.

BTW

Do you remember how those quarter panels were before...

Right side...



drivers side...

Those front fenders needed some sanding.



And there were a need for some bondo... After that I sprayed another layer of primer.



Then it was time to do final sanding and spray black paint.



This part of fender had alot of bondo over unfinished metal.



This lower part had some serious issue before.



This fender lip had a lot of bondo over huge dent...
