New to the board, so I thought I'd add mine:

Yes, it's LHD - because it's American (though the plates are Aussie).

Bought it as a Pontiac, did the conversion over two years.

As for mods, here's my list:

Engine:
* K&N AirCharger short-ram intake & heat shield
* Hand ported/polished throttle-body w/ coolant bypass (courtesy New Era Performance)
* NGK TR55IX Iridium Spark Plugs (gap to 0.055 inch)
* SLP high-flow MAF
* Taylor "409" 10.4mm wires
* EFILive street tune in progress...

Transmission:
* B&M Ripper short-shifter kit
* Royal Purple Synchromax (transmission fluid)
* CAGS delete via EFILive

Exhaust:
* DynaTech long-tube headers w/ cats
* Magnaflow split-rear dual exhaust with SLP stainless x-pipe

Suspension/Brakes/Wheels:
* Hotchkis adjustable front/rear swaybars w/ Pedders end-links
* Pedders front "radius rod" bushings
* Hawk HPS front pads (Corvette C5 size)
* 2005 OEM calipers w/ Monaro decals (320mm vs 296 mm diameter rotors)
* DBA 4000 series 6x6 slotted rotors
* Russell braided stainless brake lines
* (summer) Stock 18x8 wheels / 235/40/18 Bridgestone RE040s
* (winter) Stock 17x8 wheels / 225/50/17 Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50

Body:
* 2005 Monaro VZ front bumper and working side marker repeaters
* Gravana Tuning Type W ("Woodward") hood
* Monaro/Commodore SS molded splash guards (painted Silver)
* Deleted spoiler, filled/painted stock holes
* Replaced Pontiac badging with Holden emblems front, rear, airbag and dash
* PYFC split-rear exhaust rear bumper inserts & exhaust tips

Interior/Electronics:
* Installed homemade dead pedal
* Hard-wired Valentine One radar detector w/ mount next to interior rear-view mirror
* Replaced gauge faces with UK-market Vauxhall Monaro black face
* Replaced the "GTO" lettering from the seatbacks with OEM plain leather

Pending install (the to-do list, they're sitting in my garage):
* ATE Super Blue Racing (brake fluid for the caliper swap)
* port/polish LS1 heads (OEM 241 casting)

Overall, the conversion is 99% complete - I even have a Holden key-fob/remote.

The only thing I'm missing is to get an owner's manual, and to get rid of the "Pontiac" from the start-up diagnostics on the gauges.

After that, I'll eventually get the heads and cam done, but now I'm taking my time.
