I only looked at one of the pics but imo you would want to sand/grind down areas of cracks to the bare glass then at each end of each crack drill a small hole to prevent the crack from spreading even further.  Grind each crack out to V /channel and then reglass areas , sand, prime etc.
I am by no means a expert but gonna the same to mine but I am also doing a total restore

Good luck, Dave
