u should hotwire it :)
i can't tell you how, otherwise i am gonna get blamed for numerous magna thefts
sorry :(
best thing you can try is see if you can get an ignition barrel from a wreckers, with keys..
and replace, its a pretty quick job
sorry can't be of more help

you should really get another ignition barrell,
the easiest way to tell what wires to hook up is to take out the ignition barrell and see what colours go where, you will need to find + battery so you may need a mulitmeter or a test light!
if you don't have those it could be tough..
you will need 1 wire connected 2 battery permanently, this is your ON wire(on the ignition barrell) (power steering and all to work :P ) second you only need to touch your starter wire to the + for 1 or 2 secs till it kicks over.. then make sure you disconnect it quick... or you will strip your flywheel or starter :P
hope you can trace wiring well...as colours of wires vary from car to car,,
on mine i think battery + is red, ON is blue, i think starter is yellow, dunno haven't checked in a while.
hope this helps....
later, i gotta go to work now..
hopefully someone can help with the exact colours..
also keep in mind i have only ever done this on my car :)
