Default brake bleeding on an s2

Hi i have cossie 4x4 calipers 2wd discs and pads on my s2 and standard drums on the back, after fitting the system obviously needed bleed, but know i have no front brakes at all, the car holds and can stop on the handbrake ok. What is the correct way to bleed the car?

thanks

There are valves in the ABS system that need to be bled out as well, but its 3 years since I last did this, so I cant remember much else lol.

The manual describes it in detail though Tony
