Default 66 XR Clutch/Bake probs.

It looks like I might have found an XR Wagon, but there are a few slight problems with it and I wanted to know if they would be easy fixes that I could do after I pick it up and hit the road.

The first is that the clutch needs to be pumped to get it to work, being that these are a hydraulic unit I assume it might just need to be bled, how do I go about it though?

The second one is a brake issue. I haven't seen or been in the car yet but my father in-law has, he said there is something wrong with them, he dropped out when he said it and I haven't been able to get through since. I assume they might just need a bleed again, I've done this on my AU when I replaced the rotors and pads, how different would it be that the rears are drums?

Anything else you guys could help me with would be great.
Cheers,
Dane.

The clutch bleeds from the slave cylinder on the bellhousing,it has a bleed nipple on it,with the brakes its a bit too vague to really know,the rear brakes (drums) is where pedal (height) comes from.

I'll try to find out the exact brake problems so I can get to the bottom of it.

As for the Clutch I take it you would agree with my thoughts in it just needing a re-bleed? Do you think it could be something else?
