Is it possible to restore a rusted body? Think both doors, the tailgate 3rd brake light, front bumper, and wheel wells. What kind of cost is involved? If a shop says they'll repaint the celica, can they guarantee it won't rust back? Thanks for the input.

Rust is like cancer because once it starts it spreads out. You have to cut out any badly damaged panels and replace it. For simple surface rust you can just sand or grind it off. Some self etching primer or zinc and paint over the repairs and you will be good for many, many years but you have to remove all the old oxidation.
