Vintage bike upgrade

Hey all relatively new here. I have a Ross 292s in excellent original condition with a full Golden Arrow gruppo. I was intent to modernize it. I couldn't bring myself to do it so I ended up with a 1983 Fuji Espree. I got it for next to nothing and proceeded to take it down to metal and repaint it. It is coming along nicely and I have a bunch of stuff from past projects (mostly 105 10 speed stuff). I added bottle mounts, cold set the frame for a proper fit of the new 700c 10 speed wheels. I am having a hard time figuring out the front derailleur. The cable ends on the left side of the frame and there is no provision to mount the cable...any ideas?
