Dear Vladimir,
May this find you well. I hope you enjoyed the venison.
Based on your damage report, it seems as if the bulk of the damage was right in the center of the front. As a result, you likely can do this repair yourself, with the possible exception of painting the hood. So near as I can tell, the replacement of the damaged parts is not likely to require welding.
The nose of the car - between the bumpers - mainly consists of bolted or riveted pieces of metal. Even the fenders are bolt-on items.
If you find a rear-ended 940, you can - with a cordless drill, screw-drivers and socket tools - remove the parts you need. The headlights and their brackets unscrew or unbolt. Most of the radiator support structure unbolts. If there are welds, they are tack welds, which can be drilled out, using a 1/4" or smaller diameter drill.
If you can find a salvage yard, whose owner is willing to let you remove the parts you need, you will - by removing the parts - learn how to take off the damaged parts, and install the new parts.
The only new parts I'd definitely get are a radiator and the radiator hoses. The fan likely is fine, if it did not hit the front of the engine.
Hope this helps.
Yours faithfully,
spook
