Concerning aircraft grandfathered in:

Hello Jim,

There is no "grace period" for having the paperwork in-process. The
airworthiness certificate MUST be issued on or before 31 January 2008.
The regulations do not allow the airworthiness certificate to be issued
after that date, so the entire process must be completed and the owner
must have the airworthiness certificate in hand.

The Hawk is finished.

This is why LSA will become more and more popular. A fuel line for a Kit Fox with a 582 Rotax cost about $20.00, top of the line. The same fuel line TSO'ed for a general aviation airplane would cost about $2040.00 with installation and an inspection and sign off by a A&E. Make mine a Challenger. Jim, at an erie place.
