P38. brakes

Hi

I have a barn find 1998 RR 2.5 Turbo, 30,000 miles, one owner . stored 15 years on wooden blocks inside a garage in greece.
Had some mice problems with some wiring under the bonnet, but not that bad .

Now it runs and drives , but the brakes only work on the front .

We have changed all flexi brake pipes , new accumulator , changed fluid . changed pump .
When it bled up (as per manual ) the pedal goes rock hard and all brakes lock on .
If you open the bleed on the pump the brakes release , but then the pedal is soft and brakes hardly work at all , two feet on the pedal to stop .

Any thoughts .
I am getting to the point of selling.

Rusted valves in the modulator. A working unit from a breaker would be the easiest option

Also is the pump working & pressurising the system ? Do the usual accumulator checks as well.
