Default ABS Question

Has anyone ever converted a 01 Sportage without ABS and making it into one that does. I know with enough time and money it would be possiable but wanted to know if the wiring for the computer, in dash light and sensors as well as the wheel speed sensor mount are already there. If someone knows anything on this please let me know. Thanks for your time in advance.

I do not own this model, but I know what may be different.
Except wiring harness, brake pump, different brake hoses, computer and speed sensors you will need also brake rotors designed for ABS.
Mounts for the sensors should be there assuming there was no difference in size of brakes for cars with ant without ABS.

Dash light - more than sure you have a space for ABS light, but you may not have a circuit. And for sure you will need the controller (ABS computer).

It will be cheaper to sell that one and buy another car
