The best thing to do would be to burn the bastard & make an insurance claim. Then put the money towards something a little newer like a 1977 Vauxhall Senator or Carlton?

Good luck!

How much would shocks or struts cost on a 2003 ford taurses?

Two points to consider. The octane rating of unleaded is lower, so some adjustment of timing is required regardless of additives used. The engine will have soft valve seats that relied on a coating of lead to protect them; regular use of leaded will have applied a generous coating of lead, which won't disappear over a few miles. If you intend to use it regularly you need to find a source of LRP or buy additives for each tank, which will be quite an extra cost.
