Question where do I get new fenders for cheap?!

Hey all, I'm in need of a driver side fender as well as a front fender. I was wondering if any of you either have a parts car in the MD/PA/VA area or know of a junkyard that has a lot of 1st gens (PA near Allentown would be the best), I don't really feel like spending $500+ to get replacements from victoria british, and lord knows how much the dealer would want, or even if the parts are still available. Anyway, any suguestions would be very helpful and appreciated!

I shipped a Fender to AZ from NC and the shipping was more then the Fender was worth. $100 just to ship it UPS. Report back if you find a cheeper way of sending it. I have gotten some "Fender boxes" from a local body shop to ship in the next time. Hope it will cost less that way.

Ask Red-Blast about a fender. She bought a spare off of me.

Hey, Thanks boondock but I'm looking for pretty close to mint condition stuff, and I actually just found a few junk yards around here that might have a fb or two. So FB II, have at it! (also, I guess i was a bit inspecific with the front, but what i want is not the nosepiece, but the thing underneath it (front valance, according to victoriabritish). But thanks anyway!
