was diggin' thru some old threads and found one i started earlier..
i now have a toyota!!!! a twinky in fact!!!! and ended getting one for $1100 
at the end of the day... i preferred the practicality of 4 doors/seca over a celica or a hatch....  & yeah, i know hatches look better
thus far, i have had alot of fun and frustration with working on an old car again. i haven't done this for a long time. I have been happy with the car... probs with the car initially included slight front and rear damage, sun damaged paintwork, worn tyres, rattly interior, hadn't been serviced for 50,000kays.. blah, blah but the only thing i need for rego was new tyres.
What made me really happy was after a drive of another twinky. I drove a mate's twinky which had same mileage but better condition in general, selling for $3500 with 9 month rego. My one was so much more powerful and smoother than this other twinky.. dunno why though... cause this one had a full exhaust system and filter
money spent (approx):
purchase price: $1100
rego: $200
green slip: $500
pink slip: $20
3rd party property: $300
new tyres: $400
timing belt: $110 and $100 labour (with me helping)
oil, petrol filter, degreaser, oil filter: $?
new set of Boston 4inch 2 ways: $110
miscellaneous screws to make the interior rattle free
my cousin is now looking for a toyota also... they are planning to spend $5K but now in two minds about it.... i have been trying to comvince him to get an old skool celica (which he also thinks are avery cool)
anyway, just thought i would share about my new purchase since people were good enuff to reply to my question earlier... thanks for all the advice guys!!!
