Westfalia interior into a LC?

[rstl99]

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.

having owned a couple westies I think you'd be just as well off building your own stuff from scratch. You could reuse the latches, hinges, drawers and some other hardware but the cabinets themselves are designed for a much (internally) taller vehicle than a landcruiser.

that being said I'd love to adapt the front seat mounts to my landcruiser so the front passenger seat could spin around.. Having the bench seat and front passenger seat face each other was one of my favorite things in my vdubs.
