The engine take about 5 to 10 times of turning the key and giving it gas (the proccess takes about 20 minutes) before it will run with out cutting off then when it is put in drive it will typically cut off. I am a student working on a small budget with limited knowledge of vehicles...

Sounds like fuel problem. May be with the choke, may be with the carb. Check timing and fuel filter as well. Is air filter dirty? Start small and check basics, then work your way in. I have a 86 Ramcharger 360ci that looks like **** as well, but motor has 100,000+ miles without any major work done. I had an idle and driveability problem that was solved by a tune-up and carb rebuild.

It is possible to protect the car from getting damaged by dents and scratches?

You can install body side moldings onto your car to protect your car from dents and scratches. Body side moldings help to prevent your car against paint scratches, door dings, and door dents. It's a plastic molding that is designed to coordinate the color of the vehicle. Instead of hitting the door, the molding acts as a wall to shield from directly hitting and destroying the body of the vehicle. For more info visit https://gocarcraft.com/repair-services/

Hyundai elentra bent frame and door handle

No way to tell without looking at it and taking measurements.
It may be cheaper to replace the doors than to spend the time on repairs.

We have a 1992 Ford F250. The engine and transmission work great but the body is all rusted out. We would like to drop our engine etc into a different body. What years can I search for that will work?

1992-1994 are virtually identical, but 1987-91 are pretty close as well. 1995-96(7)

if the frame isnt rusted out to the point of failure, I would just replace the body panels, and cab. cabs from 87-96 are close enough to swap pretty easily, 1980-86 will work too with a little more work. beds 1987-96(7) are identical, 1980-86 will bolt up, but wheelwells are styled different. fenders doors ect are easily available from body shop supply or lmctruck.com
