Hello everyone! My name is Robert Lackey, aka Shifty, and I live in Oklahoma City. I'm a founding member of Wetdub (wetdub.com), and brother of new PG member Dominic. Dom and I lived in West Des Moines years ago, and he is actually moving back for school in Pella next week, so I figured we'd register here and get involved! I understand the Iowa dub scene is actually very strong!

Anyway, here are some of my cars, past and present...

2002 Jetta 1.8T (sold a couple years ago for the MkV)

1998 Jetta VR6 (sold for the Avant)

1984 Jetta 16v w/ Weber 45's (sold for the MkIII - not baby friendly)

2006 GTI (current)

1998 A4 Avant V6 Quattro (current - just shaved the sides and painted last week)

And my shop project car, the '86 Coupe. 16v swap and custom body & paint underway...

I almost forgot - I also have a 1967 Microbus!

Also, as a shameless plug, I own Shifty's Spraywerkz paint & body shop. There are lots of pics at the link in my sig, feel free to check it out, there is some serious dub love you might enjoy in there. :drive:

Custom body and paint is my specialty, sure! There are some examples on my shop pic site - shaved bumpers, pulled fenders, etc...

Definitely a slick roster of cars. I'm loving your old 84 GLI and the Jetta coupe. And of course, the Mk5 looks bangin'.

Glad to have you here on Projekt German. Perhaps we can try to send some business your way sometime. :tu:

Fell in love with the "shifty" mod when you first unveiled it over on GolfMKV.com and I love how you surprised the lady of the house. I always thought about getting it done....I remember you throwing around some ideas with the United Grey on my car. Glad you are on here, wish you lived in town though...make it sooo much easier to get stuff done. lol
