T18 / TE72 Information.

So myself and a mate are looking at purchasing a T18 Corolla from a local wreckers for $300. We started it up and it runs fine. Minor rust and everything else looks ok. Its got the standard 3T motor in it, everything it totally original.
Our plan is to enter this car into the local Sprint series (circuit racing against the clock) and Hill Climb. The idea is to keep the budget to under $1000, including car. Obviously we wont be winning any events but the goal is to enjoy racing as well as learn a thing or two about driving at the same time.
From what I can gather, the T18 (TE72) has the same basic suspension/brakes/chassis as the famous AE86, with the major difference being the 3T motor compared to the 4A of the AE86. Can someone please confirm or deny this for me? If that it true, it means that the vast majority of aftermarket gear (in particular interest is suspension components such as springs and swaybars) for the AE86 should be able to go into the T18.
I have read elsewear that a MX3x or MX6x series Cressida front struts and brake assemby is a straight bolt on upgrade (brake upgrade that is) for the T18, can anyone elaborate on this?
Can anyone suggest other upgrades that might be available that are 'on the cheap'. Coil overs are obviously way out of budget here.
With the diff, how expensive/hard is it to convert to LSD? What needs to be done and what parts needs to be found?
With the engine, Ive read up on the idea of 2T-G/3T hybrids but at the moment that is out of reach. So for the moment it looks like an 32/36 Webber and a set of extractors and exhaust is the best bang for buck. Can anyone comment on that idea?
Other opinions welcome, Id appreciate answers specific to my questions however.
Cheers
