Convert KE20 stud pattern to 114.3 PCD?

Can't find suitable wheels for my KE20 given the early Mazda offset so I'm gonna convert it to 114.3 PCD.
I found a KE35 coupe being scrapped today which I know has this stud pattern. Just wondering if the following parts are all I need to perform this conversion:
1) front hubs from the KE35
2) rear axles from the rear diff
Am also wondering if $100 is a fair price for these parts. Obviously I know that I may have to shave the axles to fit them into the KE20 diff.
The only other part I forsee needing is perhaps the rear drum brakes as well.
If anyone's done this before, any comments will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers all!

akaik, the front hubs fit if you change one of the bearings... just change both to KE20 ones and you'll be fine and also have new bearings 
put on the KE30 discs and calipers, or KE70 calipers if you like the long pads... the KE30-> are 218mm discs, compared to KE20 of 200mm. need matching backing plate.
rear axles apparently need the ends shaved a bit.. not sure on the bearings, will probably need drums, drum backing plate and other rear brake bits....
drums are definitely different, and you may as well change to all KE30 brakes anyways...
shouldn't be too much of a drama..
hmm, $100 including discs calipers, and rear brake bits too? 
up to you as to whats fair

Cheers for the quick reply Stewart.
It crossed my mind just to try & grab the front struts + rear diff assemblies to ensure I get everything. KE30 & 35 parts should be easy to find in the scrapyards so I'll do a bit more hunting.
I understand that KE70 brakes can be bolted on in front however I understand that as the diffs are different (borg warner), it is not a simple matter of getting KE70 axles but rather adapting the whole rear diff assembly to fit the KE20.
Hence why I am limiting my search to the KE30 range of corolla's at the moment.
The other model which I notice is plentiful in scrapyards are lots of old Corona's - however I am not sure if the strut assemblies / brakes + diffs are as inter-changeable as the KE corolla's.

no worries.
at the front you'd need
hubs, discs, backing plate, calipers.
KE30/55 has 218x10mm discs. KE70 has 218x12.5mm disc.
the strut itself doesn't fit AFAIK, and the KE30 springs are larger diameter.
KE30 diff is slightly wider, not sure on leaf mounts, but you can probably use the diff centre in your KE20 housing.
yup, some KE30's (even KE10's!!) and all KE70 have bog-warmers.. they are not really any stronger than the jap, just harder to change the centres
with KE70 brakes, apparently there are two types of backing plates. one (the one i have) has a square bolt patern to the strut. the other (apparently more common) has an offset bolt pattern to strut... KE30 are square pattern...
i have not yet checked if KE70 calipers fit KE30 backing plate, but it's possible..
coronas? out of my league
