Weatherstripping alternatives?

So, I need new weatherstripping for my '83, as it still has the original stuff and it's wearing out...

Are there any cheap ways to do it with generic weatherstripping or something? I know getting special fit stuff is the way to go, like from here, but I just can't afford that. As a college student, I only get paid $300 a month...

Should I post this on a different board? Or does nobody know?

No such thing as "generic" weatherstripping, but you can just get the pieces that you absolutely need.

Well for now get it on ebay for a cheap price, your in collage so i know you can find it yourself lol. And when you get out and start making all that $$ buy the high dollar hawks stuff. Keep an eye on thirdgen Ranch... however they have went pretty steep on prices as well to compete i guess.
