ABS ECu shouldn't stop it starting - car will start with abs ecu disconnected.  Check you haven't disturbed something - plugs at rear of battery perhaps?

Try disconnecting the battery for a while to see if it will reset and also check you haven't blown any fuses :).

Silly question but have you checked that there is feed to the starter motor? (The fiddly wire) I had exactly the same problem and turned out the solenoid had gone. Also, is the EM light flashing or is it permenantly on?
