The fifth rebuilt coach, #3339, has been released from IRSI.
So at present, the following LRC coaches have been rebuilt: 3315, 3317, 3319, 3328, and 3339.
VIA Rail recently added a new updated Capital Investment page to its website, talking about the current train, track, and other infrastructure improvements. In the "trains" section, there is more information about the LRC rebuild program, including the first photo of a Business-class interior mock-up. You can view the page here:

The page officially elaborates on VIA's plans for the rebuilt cars. Of the 98 LRC cars, the 26 Club/Business Class cars will be rebuilt as Business class cars (with new 2+1, more spacious and comfortable leather seating), while only 46 of the Economy cars will be rebuilt as Economy coaches (including those that have been released so far). The remaining 26 Economy cars will be rebuilt as "Combination" cars, which will feature Economy seating in one part of the car, and Business class seating in the other (along with larger, accessible washrooms). These cars will be used to offer a new "Premium Economy" class, offering passengers Business class seating and some perks, while not receiving the full meal. This will be priced at a rate somewhere in between Business and Economy fares.
There is a page especially on the LRC rebuild program here:

According to VIA, the first Business Class car will be in service in early 2012, and the first Combination car will be in service offering mixed-class service sometime in 2012. The entire project is to be completed by 2014.
