The side glass can all be made easily, it is flat glass, any glass place can cut it out from a template (that you make) and get it tempered to pass engineering. Front screen can be cut down if laminated. Rear screen as far as I know would have to be made of perspex or cut from a laminated front windscreen of a vehicle that has the same curvature, or the original back screen fitted with a tilt. Time is needed

Rubbers have to be cut by hand and glued as required. Time is needed

Basically unless you know what to do, and do it all yourself, you may end up with a scrap metal shell, or an unfinished project being sold on ebay.

If you know what to do, and have all of the skill, tools, knowledge, time and money, then you may end up with a really nice car.
