Tom asked: "I'm thinking that my '89 100q sedan might have the same problem.
It was
parked for a month or so, and when I just drove it yesterday the brake pedal
felt really stiff and "boardy". I stomped on it and it came back up, not all
the way, though, still 1 cm left. It felt better after it was parked, but
was still really hard and boardy when I started it up again. I'm not driving
it right now, but I will want to soon.

Same problem? Brake Master Cylinder? If so, any advice to me before I start
tearing the car apart to replace it?"

Different problem.  Pedal is hard, so look at the assist system.  If the
pedal goes to the floor, look at the brake hydraulic system.  HTH, John
