Brake pedal dies. have to push it every min

[fallensun]

Hello to everyone.

I am experiencing some problems with my car.... Was stored for a year.... Now, time to run again.

I changed timing belt, checked compresion levels, changed oil and air filter, changed oil pump, and installed a new tranny.
I started engine.. OK. Everything OK. Good power response...
I take it out of the garage to take a ride ( don't tell my wife) on my US car
First gear OK, second gear OK, third gear OK (starting to break the speed limits) fourth gear OK, fifth gear perfect... damn... brakes? Where the hell are my brakes? I just said a big "F..k" you guess.... OK, I managed to stop it via gear reduction. Well...
Let's explain what happens...
If I don't push the pedal regularly, it dies to the bottom of the floor. When totally up, does not brake very well... could not stop quickly at 45mph (my crappy Peugeot 405 diesel of 89 does ).
What the hell is going on? Has anyone experienced this issue?
I checked the disk... a little bit warped and rusty but... not a reason for that....
Please help meee

Bad master cylinder. Sit facing up on a hill and hold the brake pedal down. If it slowly goes to the floor and you lose brake pressure, the master cylinder is your problem.
