1980 DL, manual, 140k+ miles (odometer never worked for 2 years for prior owner), stored on jacks in garage since 2003 and engine started about weekly to every other week since then. I changed ALL fluids, fuel filter, fuel pump. I bled brakes last week (fluid was amber). According to old independent Volvo shop records in hand, water pump and belts (but apparently NOT timing belt) were changed in 2002 months before I bought her. Starts, runs, and brakes well on the streets and freeway okay as of test drive two days ago.

Do I need to change the water pump and timing belt, given the fact they were done more than 10 years ago, but car wasn't driven much?

Do I need to change the brake master cylinder?

Anything else I need to do as preventive measures?

Thanks!
