I figure that a Graphics3D object needs to have 3D coordinates for its
objects, so your approach is unlikely to work. You'll probably need to
do some massaging of the 2D objects and render the
lines/points/polygons as primitives, say in an Epilog. The general
idea is (1) extract the graphics primitives from your 2D plot (2) map
all your {x, y} coordinates into {x, y, z} coordinates with something
like {youListOfGraphicsPrimitives}//.{x_, y_}:>{x, y, z}.
