When it comes to owning your build and turning heads with it—Chandler and his 2014 Focus ST, lovingly dubbed “MSTRD,” are making their mark one mod at a time.
Chandler’s Ford journey began with inspiration close to home—his dad’s old ZX3 sparked a lifelong love for the brand. Now, as a full-time electrician, Chandler’s trade allows him to fuel his side passion: building a hot hatch that’s as bold in attitude as it is in looks.
MSTRD started life as a 2014 Focus ST, but Chandler wasn’t content with stock. The first major transformation? Swapping to the facelifted 2015 front end—giving the car a much more aggressive stance.
Key Mods Include:
While torque numbers aren’t confirmed, Chandler’s Focus has the bite to match the bark.
Every wrench turn on MSTRD has been Chandler’s own. From the upgrades to fixing what the previous owner “jerry-rigged,” it’s been a personal journey. His proudest moment? Pulling up at BJs to grab groceries and having a store worker come out just to ask about the build.
“That made my day,” Chandler says. “It’s wild how something as simple as a car can spark conversation.”
The mod list isn’t finished. Up next?
It’s not about chasing trends, Chandler says—it’s about making the car yours.
His advice to the Ford Fam?
“Just do it.”
And when asked about what he’d tell others looking to build their own cars?
“Don’t listen to hate. It’s your build. Drive safe. Don’t do stupid sh*t.”
MSTRD isn’t a garage queen—it’s Chandler’s daily. He drives it, enjoys it, and lives it. And while he hasn’t joined a club or hit a ton of meets yet, that’s all on the horizon.

Owning a car is one thing—owning the process of transforming it into something uniquely yours is something else entirely. Chandler proves you don’t need a shop team or deep pockets to make a build stand out. Just a plan, some patience, and a passion for the road ahead.
