Really sorry to hear about the accident, very good that you are fine. Depending on the damage, quite a bit is "bolt-on" (I have crunched the front end of mine a couple times, bolt-on fender/hood/nose, paint and "voila"). Rear panel work (or unibody structural damage) is a bit tougher, though still possible (friend had a totaled from rear 122, sectioned and welded a "new" end on, full respray, and it gets shown in shows with no-one noticing!)
Personally like the 4-door 122 best (Still own two!) and say it's a bit easier to work on (space/design-wise) than either the 544 or 1800. Swapping over the mechanical bits is a chore, but really not too bad - that's how I got started in Volvos (and serious car tinkering) - by swapping over a "hot" engine and parts into my 4door 122.
Good luck!
