This may be more info than you want but here goes. The MkII added a backbone to the trans tunnel that further stiffened an already stiff frame. The driver side pedal box was dropped 2". The body mold process was revised to improve body quality. This is of no importance if you're buying a finiished car, but to a builder it was important. The MkII also got new door hinges and a really stout hood hinge.
The MKIII got a new removable transmission mount that makes clutch and tranny changes way easier on a completed car. The rear 2 X 3 upper rear cross member was narrowed to make room for bigger tires. The foot boxes were resized to make room for the Mod motors. The rear wheel wells were enlarged for wider tires.
Most of this stuff makes little or no difference on a completed car except maybe for the dropped foot boxes. Also, the changes were phased in and you'll likely find a MK1 with a dropped driver's footbox, or a MKII door hinges, etc, depending on the production date. HTH
