VW Multivan/California package/parts into T6 panel van?

Hi
I'm willing to buy VW T6 panel van and slowly transform it into camper.
Californias wont work, as I want total privacy inside, only small window on the side.

I can get good T6 panel vans for like 15k
Then I was wondering if I can later (if I want) fit some of California, Multivan nice add-ons like - comfy seats, some trims for dashboard, maybe something else?

Main quesiton - will seats for example fit, how about other things? Is there some sort of online catalogue where I can find california/multivan add-on and see which vans they will for or something?

Thank you!

You could have windows with privacy glass and or blinds, no one is going to see through that. Could be very claustrophobic and windows also help one asses traffic, pedestrians, cyclists and nearby hazards when driving.
 
You can fit anything from a California or Caravelle - they're all the same base model van essentially, it's just a question of how deep your pockets are.
Kernow Transporters (amongst others) supply most of the interior components you'd need.
As an example, I converted my old T5.1 panel van to a window van with Caravelle seat rails and full width sliding seat/bed (parts supplied by Kernow).
Oxford T5 VW Van Conversions also do a lot of these conversions if you're not comfortable tackling them yourself.
Be aware that fitting seats from a kombi / Caravelle etc. will require significant work under the vehicle including removing much of the underbody plastics and heat shield, lowering the fuel tank & exhaust etc. in order to fit the required strengthening brackets.
