Rubber/paint etc.


A baby in VW land, I recently purchased a strong running '70 SQBK as my
very first project on wheels.  The body is fairly straight and I'd like
(within the coming year) to do some minor body work, have it painted,
replace the tires and rubber, and mount basket roof rack.  What I need
is the most basic of advice.
1.) is $100+ the avg. price for door seals?- know of anything better?
Where (other than Rocky Mtn.) would I find these?  Once I have them can
I install them myself?
2.) Where should I look for decent road tires (anyone from Seattle?).
Are junkyards kosher?
3.)What will minor body work run me?  How difficult is it to do myself?
4.) How much should I expect to spend on a decent paint job?
5.) I've heard that Mexico is a good place to get cheap work done- is
this true?
6.) Am I going to find a basket-roof rack for under $400?  Is this
possible used?

Ok enough.  I realize my questions are broad, but everyone has to start
somewhere...I'd appreciate if anyone has time to quickly answer some of
these or refer me to a proper reference.

thankyou very much,

Lili- '70 SQBK (Alex)
