Hawk/corse Bodywork

[Shaun II]

I do not think anyone has tried this but will hawks bodywork fit on a corse or corse I chassis?

I thought somebody had tried it, some years back. It's not a direct fitment - you could probably make it fit, but it'd be a lot of extra work, and the results might not be entirely satisfactory. There are so many differences in the chassis, the body just doesn't fit the same.

Out of curiosity, why do you ask? Do you have a Corse kit less the body? Since Napiersport is building new Corse kits, it'd be best to get one from them. I think the Hawk/Corse hybrids were only considered because there was a period when the Corse was out of production, and there were several "starter" kits sold without bodies.

A guy who goes by Vojx did it I think.

And he didn't recommend it either IIRC. He posts on pistonheads kitcar forum. Has recently posted pics of his car's recent incarnation. Impressive stuff.

Yup, Vojx's Strat has a Hawk body on a Corse chassis but the fitment required a fair amount of chopping and lopping of the chassis :eek: It didn't seem to affect the handling so I doubt it was too extensive. You'd wouldn't know to look at it but you'd be best off matching like with like, unless you've no other option(s) available.
