I'm not trying to insinuate that is what you are trying to do, but rather that you should try to understand why so many people want to see pictures, more details, or have a third party provide a first hand account of the vehicle. This is especially true in the case of a vehicle such as the one you own - a possible SV with an unusual transmission.
As for the price, consider these facets:
1) A rare G4 event Special Vehicle ( as opposed to the usual G4 Limited Edition "sticker/seat package") would be a nice collectors vehicle and possibly worth the price you ask for it. However, that same collector would probably frown on the modifications which move the vehicle away from the core of it's appeal.
2) If I read your post correctly, it's got 80k and has already needed a new engine?!?!
3) I've checked Autotrader for 04 D2's in my area (SoCal, hence possibly less corrosion issues) and the average price is less than $14k. Yes, these are "regular" D2s and not G4s, but when ARB bumpers, RTE suspension, and other modifications are completed on a rare vehicle, it loses much of its appeal as a collectible since it becomes more and more like the rest of the vehicles on the market (obviously ties back into #1).
It's too bad you don't like visiting forums like this where knowledgeable and experienced people share that knowledge and experience and sometimes ask some tough questions based on the aforementioned knowledge and experience.
