Start deleting the shit code. On Fridays I went on a rampage and ended up deleting 50k lines of code. I spent some downtime and just randomly updated some really old dependcies. Then find particular areas that can be isolated but keep it small, and include reliable testing data.
Don't be afraid to pragmatically say "this code is dogshit". But don't ever expect a full or even a large rewrite. But you can move the bar forward one piece at a time.
If you have the flexibility, just go do it. As the phrase goes, better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
