Hard to tell until it's all stripped down - I think my Sportshatch started off worse than that. Nothing's beyond repair if you have the time and enthusiasm, especially something that's still basically sound as your car seems to be. View it as a long-term project - you need to be able to leave it for a few months without feeling guilty about it, and without a deadline, you won't be stressing about being behind schedule. Remember that when people say "beyond repair" very often they mean "too much like hard work" and if you can't get panels, even more so.
