G'day, we had a bit of a tin hunt on Wednesday night, actually was more of an Aluminium hunt ;D, 'coz the object of our search was a Zestline we'd been given a lead to....so off we went with tandem on the back of the pickup on a 6hr round trip to the back of Victoria somewhere.....  ......and when we got to the final resting place of the Zesty ,it was so far beyond realistic restoration we decided to leave it where it sat.....but.... with the kind permission of the owner we retrieved a few bits that we figured might be of use to someone with one of these fine units...... So what we have available is a pair of tail light lenses , the l/h is pretty good ,the r/hand is not as good but still useful ....plus a full set of the chrome cupboard and drawer handles with the push buttons and the little pads that fit underneath. ...and a pair of the alloy hubcaps in good condition....( Holden wheels) ....and the stainless steel sink and fynspray pump , also the nifty little wrought iron corner bracket from under the end of the sink ....and the Carapark badges on brass plates that rivet to the side of the tailfins, in nice original undamaged condition. I can post pics up if anyone's interested , so just let me know if there's something you want to see , cheers, Col. |

G'day kaybee If the door & drawer handles are like the Don hardware I would be interested, I know the Don stuff is 'knobs', but would love to know for sure, so hard to get used ones. Thanks  ST |

Hi Col,
If still available I would love the tail light lenses and the badges.
Any chance you got the number plate surround as well?
Cheers

Are you able to post pic of the nifty corner bracket? My zesty doesn't have one and I'd be interested to see it. Thanks again |

Hi Col, If still available I would love the tail light lenses and the badges. Any chance you got the number plate surround as well? Cheers Hiya, nope,no number plate surround....did get the plate tho ..so here's a few pics of the stuff available  ....the bracket....and the stainless sink.....   ....the alloy wheelcaps .....  ....the handles that Surf Tragic asked about,chrome is good on these , just dirty and a bit of sloppy paint on them.....  ...these are really nice,no damage..... .  ....tail lights aren't mint ,but I figure someone would be happy to have them.....  ....pump is a beauty,good chrome on it and it works too...... ...shown below is the van, looks OK at first glance,but it's not....especially inside......      .....Brock has first go at the lights and badges, Surf Tragic has first shot at the handles....I'll PM prices to them and they might need a little time to reply,so don't bombard me with messages until they've been given a chance to respond,thanks, Col. |

Hi Kaybee, don't suppose you grabbed the two way folding roof hatch??
If Brock doesn't take the tail lights I will stick my hat in the ring if possible

Hi Kaybee, don't suppose you grabbed the two way folding roof hatch?? If Brock doesn't take the tail lights I will stick my hat in the ring if possible A0 Hi,nope....there had been a small forest fire in the roof area , so it wasn't in good shape....plus all the lift rods(?) are corroded in position ,so there would have been damage done trying to get 'em out.....and....we had one small screwdriver between us, which sort of limited what could be salvaged......we didn't expect to be pulling bits off,we thought we'd be bringing it back here ......and given it's position perched atop an Alp, it was going to be "interesting" towing it back down to ground level , and it's probably a good thing that we didn't have to try...... State of play thus far ,Brock has made a verbal commitment to take the badges and tailights.......the rest is still unspoken for , and thanks for the other enquiries so far. I have a fair pile of assorted other caravan stuff that seems to have accumulated here , so over the next few weeks there'll be a bit of other stuff coming up for sale......a couple of small fridges, sinks, van stoves , lpg Primus stoves , elderly Esky's, caravan tables with laminex tops , even a nice drop forged axle with springs and Chevy 6 stud hubs , plus a host other things as they come to light.....cheers, Col. |

Hi Kaybee,
Was there a plastic/fibreglass surround for the rear number plate. I also need a table and seats as mine were removed for a bed? You can sms me on 0428303125 and I'll ring you back.
Regards
