Installing rear disks brakes on a Protege SE 91

Hi Guys

is it possible to took off the rear disks brakes on a Protege LX to put them on my Protege SE ? Is it very hard to do? And how much do you think it could cost? If I can take the old parts from a scrapped LX like the master cylinder and also maybe I'll have to rebuild the hand brake (the wire shouldn't be the same...) etc.

Do you think that kind of swap worth it ? if it's possible to do...

That's a lot of question hehehe

Thanks

Rear discs

Canadian LX's don't have discs on the back, I bought mine brand new.
Donor cars are Canadian GT's someone else can fill in the years, and 91-94? Ford Escort GT's.
The rear spindles/stub axles are different, and the rear e-brake cables are different. CorkSports reccomends changing the master cylinder.
I priced the parts a year ago using reman calipers, new rotors, new rear cables, and new mater cylinder - price was about $800C at jobber price.
