Westfalia interior into a LC?

Hi all
Someone locally is selling the interior from a VW Westfalia camper van. Fridge, sink, stove, cabinets, etc. I was wondering if anyone has successfully installed some of these components into the rear of a LC wagon, for expedition use?
Thoughts?
Thanks.

Thats my plan for my next build, except with the pop-up as well. I guess I could be the first, unless someone beats me to it

I say go for it. but you may want to consider building new cabinets so they are a custom fit to the LC. It can be a lot of $ to surce the appliances new, so you will shurely save money.

There are places that sell salvaged RV appliances.
Google RV appliance salvage.

I only know this because I sold a rolled 22' travel trailer to one of those places.
