i have an ae82 fxgt that i have decided to keep and build up into a street/track car, i have been looking for bodykits for it but so far the least ricey and cleanest looking kits have been the J-blood and Crystal Body Yokohama kits.
Has anyone ever tried to fit/modify an 86 kit to go on an 82?? if so how much modification would i be looking at?? i am probably able to do the work myself as my old man is a boat builder and can easily aquire the materials required.

When in doubt, down and out.

If your old man is a boat builder then make one from scratch or from bits of other kits. You can make it out of almost anything (fibreglass, mdf, foam etc). Then you can make a mould of it and make as many as you want.
Thats what im doing for my ae82. I got myself a skyline front bodykit/bumper and am butchering my factory bumper and fitting bits of the skyline one to it along with other bits and pieces. ill then make a mold of it and then a couple of bumpers. (handy if your always wiping your front kit out on driveways/judderbars etc).
But if you dont want to get too carried away, the ae92 bumpers fit. You just have to drill a couple of holes where the bumper bolts onto the wheel arches/front gaurd.
