Mig weld should do the job.

Nice and tidy though please ;)

I have just recently had the same place welded on my kona, it'll be fine :D
it looks like one of the brake hangers is slightly bent, this may cause you problems with the U brake fitment/function ?
should make into a lovely steed, I really like these late eighties bikes,
