You can order all the parts yourself. So-Cal Imports has a bolt on kit for the front conversion. In the rear you have to change the drums, brake shoes, hardware kit and wheel cylinders to 67 style. You will need aluminum wheel skins (Fibersteel) to make the back look authentic (**you must know if you have long or short axles). Order some VW style studs, steel lug nuts (honda lug nuts have the same pitch) and your set to go.

Now with wheels you may have offset problems. I run 4.5" wheels all around with 165sr15 tires. Depending on your axle length you will be able to run 5.5" wheels rear or not.

Greg at Vintage sells complete conversions if you do not want to go through trial and error as I have.

***do not use a lowered spindle front disc brake conversion. Greg was correct when he said that these cars are too light for dropped spindles***
