Ivan knows this a lot better then i do, but squishy brakes could be any number of problems..Someone should post a solution algorithm in the general archives section of the site, I'm sure that they can be found somewhere in some book.
It would probably look something like:
1. New pads: allow a few days for bedding in.
2. Change fluid and bleed brakes
3. Check fluid reservoir for bubbles -> bleed brake master cylinder
4. Check all connections for leaks
5. Replace brake cylinders and boots
6. Replace BMC

I'm sure I'm forgetting lots of things, but you get my point..Feel free to correct and expand the above.

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear
