Default Panic - Brake hose Burst - No fluid left - Bleeding tips?

I had a very scary moment yesterday. A braided hose burst under an emergency stop situation

Basically I have lost ALL the fluid.......

What I just want to know is -

a) what is the bleeding sequence of the Bugeye soob
b) will I have problems as all the fluid has gone from the resevoir with the ABS pump etc...

Your help.. and sympathy... needed!!!

Have a look on http://www.scoobymods.com under Forums / Modifications / Impreza GC8 (93-01) / Suspension, Brakes & Wheels and there's a 'sticky' thread called "Bleeding the brakes"
As we're fitting Alcons to my bugeye tomorrow,we summised from there that it's this order that the brakes get bled: (You bleed them in a 'diagonal' pattern)

Drivers front
Passenger rear
Passenger front
Drivers rear

Hope this helps?

Good luck

Nick
