Disc Brakes

Now I've come across a freshly-totaled '01 ES at a savage yard a few suburbs over, with all 4 wheels and brakes still in tact. Just wandering if anyone would have any idea how difficult, and most importantly, costly, it would be to swap out the disc brakes and 5 lug wheels from the totaled car to my '03 LX.

Now even though I love the looks of 4-wheel disc brakes, the disc/drum setup I have now does every thing I've ever needed it to do. Since the swap would be mostly for aesthetic reasons, I couldn't justify spending a ridiculous amount of money on it. So, if anyone has any idea on how reasonable or stupid this sounds, I would greatly appreciate feedback.
