Default Brakes nightmare.....

Hi all, i havnt posted on here in a long time but have been getting along well. The car is close enough to finished, just a few odd jobs to sort out. One thing that really has got me stumped though is the brakes. I just cant seem to get them to work well. I have bled and re bled many times, and even bought a pressurised bleeding kit which made the bleeding process much quicker. However, i cant seem to get the brakes to stop at all. Pressure only builds after around 30+ pumps of the pedal, and from what i have seen there dont seem to be any leaks. I did have to reflare one connection, but that was it, i havnt seen any other leaks, but yet no pressure builds. Any suggestions?

I dont imagine the master cylinder has any issues, as it worked well when it came out of the donor, but i may be wrong. Im using the standard rear sierra drums as well.

Thanks
