So I've loved the OLD Toyota "TEQ" logo since I first seen it but wasn't sure if it would fit with the celica.
When I seen a sticker verion of it on Jon's (808celica) car I liked it even more.
But couldn't find any available for purchase and didn't want a sticker, though I considered it.
Finally decided to create one, but kept putting it of, but seeing as I've had free time recently I'm going to try to make one.

Found some triangular dowels, cut the to make the lettering and found a perfect sized ring.



Hopefully Monday-Wednesday I will be attempting to vacuum form and cast a resin/plastic mold of it..
I'm pretty excited to see how it comes together. And I'll post the results.

Thanks for reading thumbsup.gif
Let me know what you think

It seems you might have something going here....workmanship is outstanding. Its been a long time since ive vac molded, but seems the "details" might get lost. Pull it off though and put me down for one.
