Might want to take this car to a professional mechanic and have them do a safety/drive ability inspection. Don't have any work done just get a list of whats wrong and estimates for work it needs. As around for a good shop that has a good rep in your area.
Bad brakes,bad trans your list is growing and its not even on the road yet.

OP the factory service manual is free to download off of the three geez wiki, I suggest you start there and read the entire section about your brakes, that will answer more questions then a hundred posts, the brakes probably need an overhaul, well within the scope of any backyard mechanic, they are straight forward with no surprises, check you calipers for leaks, replace all your old brake hoses, easy job, and not that expensive for rubber lines, pads and rear shoes, possibly rear cylinders, rear cylinders are so cheap, it's almost cheaper to replace then repair, master cylinder may be shot,possibly booster, everything can be done yourself, the brakes are the first thing I would go through on any car this old, being able to stop is number one priority
Lostforawhile: Can you post a link for a fi swap for my a1
for the A20, there should be a number of stickys in FI about this, you need a doner car to start with it's pretty involved
