One minor update, it seem using the mk3 cables is not without its problems.
The gearbox end of the cable is too long between the mounting point and the end. This prevents gear selection, I will hopefully fab up a new mounting bracket in the position shown below at the weekend and with luck have functioning gears.
Gear linkage is now nearly complete, will post some pics next week.
Next job to look at is the water pipes. First I had to work out what pipe goes where. Note that the MK3 does not have a heater return line in the engine bay (it joins the main return line in the front of the car)
