Hi Evangelos,
I'm in the middle of doing the reverse conversion myself (to bad we are
so far off, we could just trade parts).
All you need from a steel wheel car is
wheels
hubs and lugs
new front rotors (get new ones though)
both rear half shafts
I got the whole swivel arm assembly from the front on mine though,
that way, all I had to do was take off the king pin nut (with spring
compressed), remove the brake calipers, and slide everything I needed
right off. The parts yard decided that they would rather save the time
than go through he process of stripping the hub. Lucky me!!!
