Loss of Power Steering

Hey all, I just wanted to introduce myself before I start with my problems (lol)

My name is Bryan, I am currently active duty Coast Guard member. I am from Southern California. I got stationed up here in Seattle December of 2011, so I am almost at my 1 year mark. I drive a 1987 Mazda Rx7 Turbo II. Love it. It is faster than my '99 Honda Prelude, also is faster and slides better than my '89 240sx coupe. I love this car (first rotary), but I am obviously new to this area and this car scene and this type of mechanics etc. So I am hoping to make new friends of this car scene. Ok, enough of me, now to my problems.

The car has shitty wiring throughout the car so I would like to see if and how much it would cost to re-do, or "fix" the wiring. Basically the guy before me tried to strip everything out he didn't need and did a half *** hack job with butt connectors, leaving everything cut, hanging around so it looks terrible.

Second, while I am driving I lose all power steering ability about 5-10 minutes after I turn the car on with an annoying beep that happens. This recently started after I got into a small rear ending accident (I rear ended them).

Pretty much, I want this car to run as good as it can for its age, look nice with a presentable appearance, and still be able to slide when I want it to.

Any and all feedback is welcome. Please help me out with this new car scene that I need to become a part of. Thank you all.

I mean I would love to replace it and have it wired up cuz I dont have the ability, time, place, or tools to do so. So yes im looking to get the entire harness replaced or fixed if possible. And it is a constant beep, sometimes its faint, sometimes it is loud.
