I've been collecting MLP for 17 years, not including my childhood, so this is no small undertaking.  I'm hoping this will become a real highlight of my site.  I share everything I've learned while fixing up and restoring my collection, from my great successes to stupid mistakes.

​​There's also a bit about me and my philosophies of pony collecting and restoring.  You'll also find my  sale and trade lists, links to my feedback, and anything else not directly related to the Preservation Project.  Reader beware, my personal opinions are not always the most popular and I'm not afraid to share them!

July 18, 2016

I made some minor updates to the Body page.  I have major updates to do to this section once I have a few hours free to dedicate to it.

July 17, 2016

I'm hoping to be able to make some of the major updates I've been wanting to get to as I'm working part time now and will hopefully have more time for it.  This evening I went through the Playsets & Accessories page and did some minor tweaking.  I added some more resources for reproduction accessories and changed information here and there based on what I've learned over the years.

July 4, 2016

I've added what I think is an exciting update about pony cancer and brown mold to the Body page.

May 21, 2016

Ok, I think I finally have all the formatting issues fixed.  Now if they'll just stay that way I can finally move on to other things.

May 17, 2016

Except for one formatting thing that I need to make up my mind about, I got all of the "My Collecton" pages fixed.  All broken links should be fixed as well.  Please e-mail me if you find any as I went a little blind doing it and I always appreciate the extra eyes!

Next up is to get my sales posted, then start filling in the gaps for all the things that are missing in the My Collection section, and eventually get all the updates made that have been waiting for years.

May 15, 2016

I got rid of the "Restorers" section of the Restoration page.  It's too difficult to keep that information up to date.

The Materials section is finished with all the broken links fixed.

Some minor updates made to the FarDreamer page.  I'm gearing up to finally get my sales posted!

The MLP Preservation Project is here to help with all your pony restoration needs! ​This is the result of years of planning, ​research,the collaboration of dozens of collectors, and My Little Pony love.  All the best cleaning and ​fixing information for ​ponies, playsets, and accessories is here in one easy to find place!
