What year is it? What is the drivetrain? Buying salvage can be a good deal depending on the damage. depending on how hard it was hit there may be damage to the rad/rad support or engine accessories if you are really unlucky there could be damage to the engine internals (but it would need to be hit REALLY hard for that). MY 2 cents buy a turn key car something you can drive tomorrow, save the projects for another day. $800 for salvage is also probably high unless it is relatively new. I put a bid on a '91 5.0 with 190k km (non repairable) for $300 last saturday FYI.
