My new 79 wagon

My dad found this on Craigslist a while ago, so we drove down to Wenatchee and got it. For the most part it's really nice. The paint appears to be newish, no dents whatsoever, interior is near perfect, and all glass is good.

It does have some issues though, that I could use help solving: First, its got some rust, like maybe someone had a cheapo paint job done where they painted over rust but now its showing:

It's like this in a couple of places, and I'm wondering what the best procedure is for dealing with it correctly. Some of it is harder to get to than this, but I'd still like to deal with it.

 

 

Also the carb doesn't seem to be working well. Rather than fiddle with it, I'd like to put a Weber on it because I've read they are much better. Could someone help me out with which carb setup would be best for this car? What exactly do I need to order? Are there hoses and wires that need modified? Also, what are the characteristics, pros/cons of each of the choking methods?

 

Any help appreciated, Thanks.
