The problem with working on these things is that taking them apart and reassembling does put some stress on the ribbon cables and connectors, so having a body with no 'mod history' is prudent.
I'll hold my breath for you. I'm amazed at how robust they are if you're careful. My 450D must be the most abused, hacked and sacked body ever but it's still going strong despite my ministrations and mods.
Shame the clouds are still over here, I'm all rebuilt in the Ob and got no sky time to align and test.
