Reaching master cylinder

Two things that make it easier to reach the brake master cylinder on a III:
-- Go at it through the left-front wheel well (preferably with the nose off.) If you're really desperate, you can cut a handhole in the inner fender... actually, in many cases, years of spilled brake fluid will already have rusted a hole in the right place, so all you have to do is enlarge it. Weld, rivet, or screw on a cover plate afterward.
-- Once you have your handhole, remove the clutch master cylinder first so it's out of the way. You don't have to disconnect its lines, just unbolt it and move it.
Still a tough job, but this makes it a bit easier. Once you have the MC disconnected, your next big challenge will be figuring out how to pull the hard lines out!
The ultimate solution is to remove the engine/transaxle -- then you can just step right into the engine bay, sit down on the front pan, and work at your leisure. But I don't blame you for not wanting to go THAT far, yet...
