I have word prees set up how did you go about
doing your custom setup

It really isn't all that hard. Basically you just start with a plain page that matches the design of your existing site, then plug in the WordPress coding for various pages WordPress uses into the main section. Glancing at the coding for your site, you would insert the WP coding between the section called "<div id="main-copy">" and the section called "<div id="footer">".
I would start by downloading the "default" theme from your WordPress installation. When you look at the coding you will get a feel for how it works. There are seven files that need to be modified: single.php, search.php, page.php, index.php, attachment.php, archives.php, and archive.php. In each of those, you would want to remove the coding that says <?php get_header(); ?> and <?php get_footer(); ?>. Then, either insert calls to the appropriate pages that generate the top, menu and footers for our site or just paste the coding itself. You will also most likely need to modify the various paths for links to other pages in your since you are running WordPress from a subdirectory. Lastly, you need to insert the WordPress CSS stuff into your own CSS file - I would start by just copying and pasting the stuff from our template into your CSS file and see what that gets you.
When you get those all done, upload them to a new subdirectory in the WordPress themes directory and then select it from the admin section. That is it in a nutshell.
