As we all know, I'm an LQ1 humper. So I was ecstatic when I saw THIS come into our school's shop. We're doing the rear main seal and timing belt. The car is rust free underneath and needs a bit of odds and ends work. Fortunately, the woman who owns it loves the car and is in the process of having it restored.
And I know someone here likes keeping track of these...
And the results of the past 2 school shop days:

Simon Champion!Very nice. The body looks to be in really nice condition and is clean. The top on the other hand needs to be replaced. Do you know how many miles are on it?

I believe it's around 107,000 miles. The entire engine's being gone over so if it's not the rear main seal, we'll find it before the car leaves. The owner of this car has no problem with however long it takes, so long as it's done right... God I'd love to have this car. XD

...I thought you said that your automotive teacher won't let you work on LQ1s and called them "ABOMINATIONS" .....

He wouldn't let me work on MINE. This is the car of a PAYING CUSTOMER. He still calls it an abomination and thinks the owner insane for wanting to restore it.

Well, we only get the shop every other day. Today was mainly about getting the engine unmounted from the subframe and removed, and bolting the subframe back into the car, transmission still attached.

yeah if they are going after a rear main seal to cure the oil leak they are gona be in for a surprise when its the oil pump drive seal that is causing it.

Haha, was thinking the same exact thing. A lot of work for that oil pump drive seal.
