Minor 2nd gen repairs.

Alright I recently bought myself a 92 4runner v6 4wd sr5 with body damage for $900 its beautiful under the hood but sadly its only inner beauty, I have some problems that I will list and if you could help I would appreciate it.

The lights in the cab where the mirror is are blown, how do I get the cover off?
About 8 inches back the sunroof bogs down when being opened, how far is it supposed to open and if its not opening enough how can I fix this?
Oil pressure gauge doesn't work
And well the body damage, if I can post pictures I will so you can see the damage, one guy told me to drill a hole in the metal behind where the window went and put a bolt and nut in it then attach a chain to that and hook the chain to another vehicle to slowly pull the dent out.
Another guy told me to put a board in the back of the cab and set a jack in it at an angle with another piece of wood on it angled to push the dent out.
What are your thoughts?

I'm trying to post pictures but this tapatalk app just says processing for 30 minutes

Try number three
 
The guy I bought it from said he slid into a ditch when it snowed and went up on two wheels about to roll but it hit a tree, the doors are new but the front and back are still damaged, I haven't done any repairs on it yet, this is how I bought it and how it is now.

I would take it to a body shop for an "estimate".
Be honest and tell them what you are looking for. Assuming since you are considering doing the repairs yourself, you are not looking for perfection, they might let one of the kids do some banging for cheap. Figure, they have the tools and a ton more experience than you. For a couple hundred dollars they will be able to bend it back better than you can, and maybe you can get a real window back in the opening.
That's what I would do.
