1995 Ford Escort LX sedan 1.9L 5 speed overhaul

Hello, Things will definitely crop up that you don't expect, but you're on the right track. Your brake system may require some servicing -- change your fluid for sure (a good rule of thumb is to change it every 3 years anyway, as it is hydroscopic -- attracts moisture), and you may need to ensure brake rotors are not rusted and caliper slides are lubricated properly. Tires may need to be replaced -- check the date on them, if they are 5 years old or older opt for new tires.
