It will be a toss up between the insured value, cost of repairs, and what the insurance company thinks they can get back from the salvage.
If its cheaper to repair then pay you out 'including revenue generated from salvage', then they will repair it.
Check your policy for more information.
To give you an example, a colleague from work purchased an BA XR6 for $13k 'vehicle was insured for agreed value of purchase price', got into an accident with repairable damage of $8,500 and it is going to be repaired 'basically because the salvage value would be p.much nothing'.
For what ever its worth mate, remember any accident you can walk away from is a good accident, though its a shame to see such a nice ride looking like that.
Kink in the right front fender tends to suggest she took a bit of a bend in the rail, but otherwise
'looks', like a remove and replace radiator support, new or second hand body parts, square off engine bay, new/aftermarket radiator, shroud, thermos' and other bits and peices and repaint?
Once you take the bonnet off, the damage wont look nearly as bad, its more cosmetic then structural 'but that would be subject to mechanical inspection'.
Have a feeling this won't be written off through.

Pretty sure it shouldn't be based on that valuation.
