There may be a simpler solution than those already suggested. You didn't mention whether your Celica was lowered (with lowering springs) or had oversized wheels and tires. Both of these will cause the alignment, in this case, the camber, to be off.
Cars with oversized (in your case, larger than the 14" OEM (stock) wheels the car came with) wheels or that have been lowered will result in de-cambering the wheels. The normal procedure to allow proper alignment of such vehicles is through the use of a camber correction kit, like the one made by Eibech, which provides special strut mounting bolts that have cams on them and allow further adjustment of your camber beyond what the OEM adjustment allows.
Check to see if there is a different-looking bolt in the bottom hole of the rear strut mounting bolts (below the springs, follow the strut downward until you see to bolts that pass through the strut bracket that connect it to your spindle.
If they are there, they can be used to correct the de-camber (aka negative camber). If they are missing, and you have lowering springs and/or larger wheels than stock, you'll need to buy the camber kit to allow the alignment shop to correct your problem.
