Hayden.
please list in 1 e-mail all that you changed out on the brake system and in what order, it may help someone turn a lightbulb on as to what you may have missed.
 
 
I feel for you, we will get this fixed in a combined effort with you doing all the work of course, ha ha ha.

OK, new master cylinder, hours of bleeding and still mushy brakes.  If you keep your foot off the pedal for a few minutes, it will go all the way to the floor.  Pump it up and it will get pressure for a bit before it goes all the way to the floor.  I am at my wits end because this is the last thing I need to get fixed before I can get the car inspected and licensed.  I am about to purchase a complete DOT stainless brake hose kit to try and fix the problem.  Any suggestions?  Hayden
