You get in shape, and more importantly stay in shape, by accumulating significant, but livable, improvements to your lifestyle over time, and building on that. Not by going through some horrible ordeal requiring Olympian willpower.

But then, I’d expect nothing less from a committee of pseudo-scientists
You, sir, have very low expectations for the noble profession of pseudo-science. I both demand and expect a whole lot more from my committees of space pseudo-scientists:

Forget technology for now. With an old vehicle, first and foremost it needs to be well looked-after. A well looked after vehicle - even if it's getting on in age - commands respect. A clapped-out rusty biscuit tin on wheels commands scorn, no matter how much technology it may have inside. Fit bars to the front if it doesn't already have them. You don't want some idiot reversing into you and destroying the grille; I can't imagine parts will be too easy to find for a vehicle that age. Roo bars (the type that don't curve around the side) will probably look best. Sort out any rust or dents it may have, then give it a nice shiny new paint job. I'm thinking something along the lines of a red stripe starting at the top rear and going diagonally to finish at about the level of the door handle, whereupon the red stripe goes horizontally along the door. Paint it black below the red stripe, and grey above it. Fit some lights to the roof just above the windscreen. A spolier on top and red wheels complete the look. --

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together?

Might I also suggest placing some of those rectangular fog lights on the front of the roof just above the windscreen? (and if you don't get a 5 Funny then we're officially part of the older generation).

Don't forget a weapons locker in the back. The accuracy of the weapons doesn't matter - just spray and pray and watch as other vehicles flip over and explode. --
