"very tight budget" and "project" rarely go together...
If you are doing a project which isn't for financial gain then you should be prepared to spend money and / or a lot of time on it. At the end of the day it depends on what your project is - as soon as you require new parts you have unavoidable expenditure if you wish to continue.
If you want some fairly serious answers, I'd suggest providing a reasonable expectation of how much you are willing this project to set you back
