Default Disco 1 brake nightmares

Hello all. Long time lurker, first time poster. I have a D2 that has undergone a complete overhaul with new engine trans and everything else imaginable. My friend loves the trucks so much he went out and bought a 1999 D1 camel tribute. Upon getting the his car the brakes were dead. We bled all using multiple methods and the back were perfect. Front had nonstop bubbles. Checking over the system, no leaks were present. Next step we bought a new OEM master, same results. Had the ABS block rebuilt. Same results. Now when bleeding, the pedal will be soft, pump up after a few pushes and feel okay, and then 5-6 pumps in the large bubbles will be gone but then microscopic ones start to form, making the fluid look milky and the pedal hits the floor. Every time, with both fronts looking the exact same. The only things not replaced are the booster and the pressure reduction valve. We’ve spent countless hours on this and are completely lost now. If anyone has some insight to this issue I would greatly appreciate it as I don’t want him to lose faith in this thing before he gets to drive it. Thanks!
