Last night I added fluid and bled the brakes. Now I do have pressure on the pedal; still a little spongy, but at least not straight to the floor. I need to buy more fluid and re-bleed them, as I did it very quickly and the fluid that bled out was very murky. Thanks for the encouragement.
I haven't driven it yet, as I still have the right front wheel off. Feel free to read my new thread about front wheel bearings and respond.
I'm still curious where the brake fluid that was in the system went to. No apparent leaks, and I don't think it's prone to evaporation in 2-3 years, because there's still fluid in the empty Scotch bottle I used to bleed the rears years ago.
