Question '87 Camry rear drum to disc brakes conversion

Hi all Camry owners/fans,

This is my first post to this forum and as a proud owner of my first ever Toyota I'd like to know has anyone ever changed the rear drums to discs? I know that the SV21 chassis has been made with 2,2L engine, which has rear discs so it should not be impossible to change the drums. Can anyone give some advice?

My Camry has 3SFE (2,0L) engine and has 123k miles on it. It has very humble number of options, only the basics, manual gearbox, manual windows, manual seats, manual mirrors, no A/C, no sunroof. But it is perfect for DIY.

The car was shipped from Florida to Finland back in '89 and came to me a bit over a month ago. Now it sits in a carage over the winter. Just changed new rear shocks and patched up couple of rust holes Next I'll change the clucth and the timing belt, try to fix the front speaker, maybe install rear speakers as well. Brake lines need to be flushed and the radiator needs to be changed since 85% of the radiator 'fins' are bent or damaged. The engine is not overheating but the rad looks awful.

Sorry about the off-topic, hope to hear some comments to my question though.
