They are part of the body - you would need to cut the ones of the donor car and weld them in as a patch. Not an easy job - should be left to a professional ($$$). You may be better off just panel beating and filling.

I've cut them off before with a plasma cutter. Not too hard at all!

Van, i respect your bravery.


Mark, i mean you no offense, but why do a 5 thousand euro repair on a 3-4 thousand euro car, when you can just source a new tub and move everything on board ? - then you'll have no structural flaws going on back there

maybe you do something like this to an F-355....

i can order a 6.6 litre shortblock (iron) from Jegs. (remember "smokey and the bandit) ? and drop it into my car, but why the hell would i do that ?
