Can this project be saved?

Okay, here's the situation I'm in ... all suggestions and wisdom very welcome. (Telling me that I'm screwed won't be AS welcome, but if it's true, I reckon I gotta hear it, so that's appreciated too.)

I've inherited a feature (disclosure: my feature) from a post house on a hard drive. The post house did their work about a year ago, and I'm just now seeing what's on the drive. Here's what I've got:

- All my media in MXF form, nicely encoded in hi-res HD. I can't view this on my XPress Pro laptop setup (I get "wrong format" -- I have another thread open about that), but I recently viewed it on someone else's Media Composer, so I know it's there and looking good.

- An Avid project folder (call this PROJ 1) that has a lot of interesting looking files like Bins/bin.151 and Bins/seq/seq.11 but NOT Avid project, bin or settings files (.avp, .avb, etc.). It's been acknowledged by the post house that those somehow got mislaid(!) This is the project that I'm looking to rescue.

- Another Avid project folder (PROJ 2) that represents a transcoded version of PROJ 1 (transcoded down to DVCPro for output as HDV). This project contains a bin with transcoded DVCPro versions of all the clips in PROJ 1, as well as the transcoded sequence. Now, these transcoded clips are *not* linked to my MXF media ... they're all offline, and I don't have the transcoded media. I would have expected that I'd be able to relink the transcoded clips to the hi-res originals (since they should have matching reel #s and timecodes), but when I attempt to do that Avid tells me nothing got relinked.

So the question is: can this project be saved? I feel like I have all the ingredients: a sequence that's correct (though transcoded to a lesser format), my media files (though I can't open them in XPress Pro) and a bin with all the clips (though the clips are off-line and don't want to be relinked to the media.)

Thoughts? (If it's not obvious from the above, I'm not an Avid expert -- I've done FCP for years, but more, say, intermediate+ than pro -- but I'm trying to get up to speed quickly. Apologies for any mistakes in terminology or basic understanding in the above.)

Thanks very much in advance for any and all help ...
