I feel like you would definitely have to reinforce the fender portion of the hinge significantly (especially if it's a2 door) or else your doors will be pretty floppy when opened and possibly even while closed.

Just weld your hinges back on. Its going to be a huge headache to get your doors to hinge off of those, and youll basically be turning your fenders into a giant snapple cap.
