When living in France I saw quite a few of these classic vans made into truly brilliant MoHo conversions with some even having had total engine and transmission changes as well to get away from old wheezing 1.9 1970's lump, but unfortunately I never had a camera with me to take any photos!

With the cost of a decent conversion as high as it is , you wouldn't want to hobble it with a geriatric base vehicle , requiring a costly total revamp as well , unless its more heart than head . jmho

Anything is possible but why start with a van that has already had a lot of money spent making it into a food van, asking price 35k.
There are other Hy vans on the same site.
If I was looking for a project I fancy this old HY camper van:
