Just take a minute and relax. Sit down... Take a few deep breaths and take the time to think.

I believe nothing happens by accident and you are meant to own your fathers car.
Stop trying so hard. Take some time to get to know the car. A good thing to do right now is clean and service everything that needs it.
This is cheap to do and will keep you busy for a while.
Don't stress over the stuff you don't know. Just focus on what you can do right now.
In time you'll develop a better understanding of the car and you're skills will improve.
There's nothing wrong with doing things economically.
Also... There's nothing wrong with running with no door pockets.
After all it's your car now and your dad would want you to enjoy it not have it add stress to your life.

Fix the paint. Pay someone to do that if you have to and then forget the flash light accident.
You're allowed about 4 mistakes a month so don't be afraid to use them ;-)

I'm guessing you have a family so try to keep a good balance in your life.
