It is possible to seat seven in a full westy. I have the standard
passenger van bench that many people have in the passenger area to
seat two more people, and a bench from a transporter (vw commercial
van) that replaces the passenger seat.

So the seating arangement is:
3 in front (including driver)
2 in the middle
2 in back

And I still have my AC, closet, water tank, and fridge / stove / sink combo.

The middle benches are pretty common, front benches come up on eBay
from time to time. Before you part with your westy interior (and take
on such a big job) you may want to consider some slide in benches.

The catch on all this, is that I am only interested in the interior with the two rear-facing jumpseats , the folding table and the rear three seat folding bench.

Anmd yes, the fridge & stove work just fine.  My interior color is brown carpet & trim, the upholstery is the multi-color green, tan & white.  I have the original front seats, but due to the foam wearing out, I am using a set of blue captains seats, so I have no preference on color.  If you don't like the color of the rear bench cloth, it's easy enough to replace.
