Safe to weld (near fuel tank)

By the way, how do you plan to put the M10 thread for the seat belt mounting in
Ah yes - do that bit before you weld the repair panel into place - just like I didn't do . The original thread appears to be machined into a small panel which is welded into the inner wing - the panel helps spread the strain put on the fixing by the seatbelt. I'm going to make my own one up using metal and and a M10 nut, drill a hole in the inner wing for the bolt to pass thorugh then weld the panel into place. Tight space to weld in, but is possible.
Do you know if the seat belt mounting stuff is included in the repair panel for that area? I have the panel on order…

Not sure - I made my own panel up for this area. Who have you ordered the part from?
Its a local car parts shop, they do Hadrian panels.

More or less, still in one piece:
Broken spring (left hand side):
After unbolting carefully, the rear suspension is off:
After a bit of a struggle and a lot of wiggling, the fuel tank is off too:
