It would be a lot of work....but could take the car to the end of days... but give up the notion that it will ever look new again...it`s just not worth a restoration. ALSO, even assuming it`s mechanically sound, have a good look at the undercarriage - it may be even rougher than the body and there`s no point wasting time and money on a car that`s pretty much had it.
For the glass, there are polymer repairs that may work, but I`m uncertain of any DIY product.
