T3: WCM or Bug pack


	My '69 SB had it's major window seals replaced, w/ "cal look" by a
previous owner, I believe it was 3 years or so ago.  The car was then
bought to Northern CA, on  the coast, not too far from the oregon boarder.
(read: dailly rain, salt spray). I bought the car here and continue to
live here.
	 All seals now leak alot, and have caused what looks like the
first rust this car has ever experienced (w/ the exception of the
battery tray of course). major blistering arount the rear quarter windows 
turned into holes with inspection by screw driver.  The windshield is the
source of an 1/2 inch to inch puddle ever time it rains. (thank you el
nino) From feeling around under the dash, the frame appears to has started
to rust. 

Question: Whats the best way to fix this rust, within reasonable cost.
 
Question 2: Which seals should i replace the wore one with, OEM is out
because the previous owner ditched the trim, BUG-Pack or WCM?

Q3:  Would sealing the glass/rubber and rubber/metal joints with
non-hardening permetex or even grease help prolong the water proofness?
	or would it encourage rust and rubber hardening?

thanx for the input

Word to the wise: when installing a motor, be gentle with the crank case
ventelation return tube.  If it gets loose, it leaks alot of oil on your
newly refrebished engine, and parking space ;-)
