One owner VB SL Rebuild, NEED HELP!

Howdy, Just bought a new car

79 VB SL

Shes a 202 auto, 160k on the clock

Perfect interior except a split in the dash

Off the original owner shes straight as! has a few scratches on it and faded paint in a couple bits that will get fixed eventually but been bought to restore and make a cruiser stock

here's a couple of pics I'm Picking it up next Sunday as its in the middle of no where lol!

Has problem with the brakes so its getting towed

tell me what you think and any ideas, think its either rear brake shoes or master cylinder as the brakes go to about inch from the floor and don't work to crash hot!

Pick the old girl up tomorrow morning, nice day out on the open road with a car trailer. Gonna be a long drive with my uncle and grandpa haha.

well anyway I've got some new front brakes for it, got front bearings for it. Gotta orginise rebuild kit for the rear drums when i get it home. Apparently rear drums are the same as those on a Camira? Anyone know if this is correct or not..

Heres a couple more pics i forgot to upload.

Also bought a sticker for the back window. as I'm going for an original grandpa style car

Ok Well shes home,

Had a nice long drive home thinking having a really good think about what i want to do with it.

Well the intention is to get the brakes going and working for moving around the place. then get some quotes on paint. and other stuff

So Plans are

Paint Original colour inside and out.
Rebuild the motor
Give the suspension an overhaul
Maybe A new dash not sure a dash mat would do the job but im not ruling out the idea.

Heres Some pics of it from today and some pics showing its bad points, I know it looks like its tied down through the back seat, but that was just shutting the over hand of the strap so it did flap around the road.

the dash splits

Any ideas what the bottom should say is it def 3.3?
