How to convert a sim wifi modem to a wan hotspot.

Basically I've got 2 old SIM wifi modems lieing around and recently upgraded to fiber, can I use it's internet connection (wired) to my old SIM modem so it becomes into a hotspot to cover my whole house ?

Easiest way - get a router which supports 3G/4G.LTE modems out of the box, or which can be modified with custom firmware for that.

As for 'covering my whole house" - it depends a lot of your house. How good is the coverage now, with your fiber ISP?

Yeah easy first of all connect and login to the setup page of the SIM router your going to use as a wireless access point and change the IP address to something on your subnet not used by your fibre router and then disable DHCP. Then connect an ethernet cable from a lan port on the fibre router to a lan port of your SIM router.
