Disc Brake Conversion
My 99 must have been built early as it still has drums in the rear. Its time for a complete brake job and I was wondering how much brain damage (and damage to my bank account) it would cause to convert the rear to disk?

It's going to be quite a bit of work and money.
You have to remove the axles to replace the backing plates, you'll need new park brake cables, new brake lines as well as the rotors, calipers etc.
