If your '07 is "much loved' keep it as is and start looking for an earlier, much earlier, machine. That will save you endless headaches and lots of time and money. I think there is a reason why you will have a difficult time finding someone on this forum that has been down that road; just guessing so I could be wrong. Having said that, the entertainment value in following your project, should you undertake it, would be priceless. So, if you do proceed, please photo document the process from start to finish.
