Default rear drum to disk conversion...?

hi
just wondering if any of you lovely lot would be able to help. im looking at getting a classic impreza sport for my next vehicle but unlike most newbies that want one im going to keep it as a sport lol, just wondering how difficult would it be to convert the rear drums to disk brakes? as i may use it for a bit of rallying and would like disc brakes all around because there better lol. and also do all classic sports have cable clutch? or do some have hydraulic?
mant thanks in advance

Hi there try this:
Full rear hub/nuckel assembely from an WRX or any 5X100 Impreza with disk brakes.
Rear rotors
Maybe E-Brake cables depeding on the hub you use
The calipers
Pads
Thats about it! Good luck.

EDIT:
Install is basicly like this.
Remove the old hubs from the car and replace them with the new ones. Its all bolt on stuff!
