does the brake pedal feel spongy or go deep to the floor? does it firm up when pumping the pedal?

Doesn't firm up, I can bleed the back breaks fine, but not the front, they never go to the floor ,

so you're not getting fluid out of the front when you try to bleed? Did you bench bleed the master cylinder? I would try opening a front bleeder and see if it will gravity bleed or if you can put vacuum on it to get fluid flowing.

Bleeding not complete.
Clevelands suggestions are solid.
