Front end Damage S70 1999

I had a wreck in my S70 in which the drivers side headlight was the point of impact. The headlight, fender, hood, and bumper are all damaged. In total the insurance company estimate the damage at $4,000.
I was wondering if this is something I could tackle myself. If it is a matter of unscrewing and taking off parts, i.e. fender, bumpers, etc, or if it is much more complecated than that. I have done this before on a 95 Dodge Stratus, but didn't know if the Volvo would be much more complicated.

Thanks

    It depends on how much of the 'crumple zone' was crumpled. Superficially, everything comes off and can be replaced with junk yard parts. There will be lots of parts...
