I'd go down to a wreckers, find some old ones of another car, soak them in transmission stop leak fluid for a day or two (to soften them up) and use those. That's what I did.

Door weatherstrip from FCs is what I use in my RX-3s and FBs. FC doors are larger so it will require minor trimming. Be sure to bring a popper (harbor freight or autozone) so you can get the plastic T's also.
