    My brother-in-law has an '88 Scorpio. He has had considerable work done
   on the suspension and front end. The dash has cracked. He has had some very
   strange wiring faults. The clear coat is peeling off on the hood. All of
   the work he has had done turned out to be very expensive in both parts and
   labor. He still loves the car but he is beginning to get realistic about
   it and is considering selling it (since he got married and now has a child
   to look after$$$$).

The cracking dash is a known problem on file with NHTSA (call them at
[phone] to report problems with your Ford and/or request data).
Ford should have foreseen this and should pay for it.  A judge would
probably make them pay for it in small claims court.
