Yes, you can weld on a disc brake mount to the left seat stay/dropout.
You would need to use 5356 filler rod, and then solution heat treat the
frame to the same parameters as a 6061 alloy frame, with the final age
after solution and straightening.

Thats going to be expensive, welding, jigging, re heat treat ( and you'd need to align it between T4 and T6) then a respray/decals.

Whoah, that's gonna be some major expense! Cheaper to get a new bike!
I got my new Giant now, I'm well chuffed with it, way nicer than my old one
