beeping and no power steering
I keep hearing a beep beep beep
Probably the power steering computer telling you there is a problem with the system. The number of beeps before pausing will indicate the problem.
1-beep, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of speed sensor signal:
In case broken wires or short circuits occur to sensors or harnesses, the buzzer sounds 60-seconds after the engine speed signal of 2200 rpm continues for 18-seconds.
2-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of engine speed signal:
The buzzer sounds twice and repeats when the vehicle speed signal is missing input and/or no engine speed signal is found (short circuit, broken wire, etc.)
3-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of stepping motor signal:
The buzzer sounds when there are broken wires or short circuits in coils or harnesses.
4-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of the power steering microcomputer:
The buzzer sounds 4 and repeats when there are circuit troubles other than with the micro computer.
5-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of steering sensor signal: Steering sensor is mis-aligned or failed or steering wheel has been improperly installed.
1 beep reapeats... no power steering and my speedometer doesnt work... is it a quick fix? or will my car be down if i start to fix it

If I remember correctly, the speed sensor used by the power steering system is in the speedometer itself. You say you don't have speedometer so I guess there is no speed signal to the PS, that's why your PS is not working.
You have to inspect the speedometer in the instrument cluster, may be the speed cable is just disconnected of the instrument cluster. If the cable is broken you'll have to replace it. I don't know how hard it is.
