Default Cortina disk brakes on a 105e anglia

Hey guys not sure if this is the most perfect place to post this but I am just about to pick myself up a rather original 105e anglia and am looking to do a disk brake conversion. If anyone knows of a how to guide or has done it themselves please let me know as I would like to improve the drivabilty ASAP.

i believe you need to use mk2 cortina struts and have them converted to coilovers. i have done this on mine, but am trying to sort out some hubs as the standard hubs are a) r00ted and b) want to get the widest possible tyres on there without modifying the wheel arches, so probably 175s
