mk3 or mk4 but i think because your an early mk2er youll need to buy the longer and later style handbrake cables.
if you go mk4 like i have youll have to spend around £25-£30 on some flexi hoses from goodridge . ( they are braided )

i dont know the in's and out's of the handbrake cable thingie, but mines a 90 spec and it has the later style longer cables or something. the year 88 sounds familiar.
