Go to a local scrappy and find a mk3 with the same engine and with power steering. You need tge steering rack, steering column, the pump which is below the alternator, the bracket holding on said alternator and pump. The fluid bottle and all connecting pipes. Simply take all of this and fit to yours. I say simply, it's a lot of work. I would strongly suggest a haynes manual.
