Scratch sounds like a good place to start. The layout is fairly simple so it should not take long to make a new "template"
Otherwise, start by removing deprecated and proprietary elements and attributes, get rid of the nested tables and other backward formatting tricks (like multiple for spacing). Add a DTD etc, validate and fix any errors.
Once you have valid (transitional) HTML, you might try to remove further presentational attributes and aim for HTML4.01 strict.
I note the site uses some CSS, but it's full of proprietary attributes too, has a lot of duplication and doesn't seem to do anything. Ditch it :-)
