Way too expensive IMO. Save yourself the time and money and try to find a set that looks similar.

You would need 4 new hubs at a minimum of $200/ea for new. you would need 2 new front rotors($50-100/ea), you would need 2 new front caliper brackets at $80-100 ea/new, you would need 2 new rear drums$50-80ea) and then you would need to pay a shop to install them if you cant, plan on 1.5 hours shop time per hub, so 6hrs.

You could find all the parts used online for much less with some shopping, but then you need to buy some TC wheels, which as compard to aftermarket are expensive when used and crazy retarded overpriced when new

Buying a complete wrecked car will be far more expensive.
