Sounds like you have a plan and I'm happy to hear that you'll be able to salvage some of what you had "in the can" (an old film reference).
And it might not be cheating per se to keep your old stuff and write as a bridge between it and the new story: "And now she realized it was all some kind of weird dream. She (or he) was awake now. Her (or his) eyes were open. Time to accept things as they really were. They were older. Things were different. The rules were different. And it was time to get to work."
