boot is an easy job, door is too. But you will need to fit some form of solinoid for the doors, also MOT station's dont like de-handled doors either

i would say £200 for the boot welded, skimmed lightly with filler then painted.

doors would probs need the paint blending into the rear quarters and wings, so i expect it will cost a fair bit on those

you should smooth the door handle surounds into the door and leave the handle functioning. that looks very cool.

ask someone who no's im pretty sure it can be an MOT failure if there is no way off opening the doors.
