Default New summer project 2004 F-150 (wrecked)

Just traded my 2002 Audi A4 for this 2004 F-150, the Audi will be missed but I miss my truck that I used to have and I have a boat that needs towed. My goal is to clean it up and make it look like my old one before I go off to college this fall.

My old 2007 F-150 Lariat Supercrew, traded it for a 2008 Mustang GT

The damage was done by a tree during winter. So first thing to get fixed is all the body damage. Dropped it off at the body shop and bought 2 new doors. Not to sure what I am getting myself into.

Looks like about as easy of a project as you could ask for.

Mind sharing what you paid?

Is there any damage to the upper or lower door sills? That's where it gets a lot more labor intensive. From the picture, it's the upper I'd be most concerned about.
I want to qoute you and Doug regarding the Audi. My wife wants one.
